most modern linux toolings have 200-300 dependencies.. and some of these are before the whole AI thing, so not just vibe coders. The problem with rust is that is doesn't ship with any basic functionality, like crypto, or json encoding, or similar. So you end up having to depend a lot, because what should be part of the standard library simply isn't there. Hence my reference to golang which has all those. Of course rust has other benefits, but that one is a huge issue, for the same reason we see so many issues with js and python related to security attacks through pipeline.
