An explosion of transitive dependencies
Read OriginalThe article argues that programming languages with minimal standard libraries (like Rust and JavaScript) force projects to rely on many external dependencies, creating a complex web of transitive dependencies. It contrasts this with languages like Go, Python, Java, and C#, which have more comprehensive standard libraries that help minimize this issue. The author provides examples of what a standard library should reasonably include and discusses the consequences, including the creation of internal 'walled garden' libraries at large companies.
