A theme is fine - Google has been pushing Material for a while now, after all, so if you come from Google land the colours are familiar and preferred to you, same with themes like Solarized and whatnot.
That said, I do agree that dependency management and reliance is a Problem these days. left-pad was the camel that broke the proverbial camel's back for many people, and it made people realise how ridiculous dependencies in at least NodeJS land has become. It was already silly in Java land since the 2000s, but more from the layers of abstraction and overhead that frameworks like Spring add (which is ironic because Spring was originally conceived to be a lightweight alternative to J2EE, but that's a thread on its own).
I know the general community atmosphere in the Go ecosystem is adverse to adding dependencies and frameworks; it has a good standard library which was complete enough and which isn't yet fully bogged down by design by committee like Java and JS were (to their credit things are moving again), and its users are like "you know, plain Go is good enough", so they are much less likely to add frameworks or DSLs like assertion libraries.
I'd like to know if the same thing is happening in the Rust ecosystem, I've never ventured there before.
- Macha 2y agoIt had not occurred to me that a VS Code Theme was a full blown extension, since I've never installed one. I wonder if a lot of people have a mental model of a VS Code theme as a collection of CSS files, which should be relatively safe (even including those that install them).
- Narishma 2y agoThe same thing is happening in Rust. Try to compile any random app and it pulls dozens if not hundreds of dependencies.
