Biome maintainer here. The zero dependency philosophy concerns the legacy Rome JavaScript implementation. With the Rust rewrite, the Rome team was more open to add dependencies when it makes sense. I must admit that I don't know why they chose to implement their own console printer at the time. The Rome community project (rebranded under the name "Biome") started one year ago, when the company failed. Only one core contributor comes from the Rome team. Others, including myself, joined the project at that time. Although we kept most of the Rome philosophy, we diverge from some of them. We are more open to the community: We implemented some of the most requested options (The Rome project was more hostile to add options). We are also more open to reuse existing solutions when it aligns with our primary goals.
