I don't have a problem with dependencies in principle. There's a good reason for standard libraries to contain a decent amount of code. It is a vector for supply chain attacks, but I also have a lot of trust in the Rust maintainers. The Rust standard library is exceptionally well-written from what I've seen, so I'm not too worried about it. FWIW I checked out the nightly toolchain, and it looks like the stdlib is less than 400k SLoC. So literally 10x smaller.
