Dependencies are a huge supply chain security risk; the more of them you have, and the more often you update, the bigger the attack surface.

    Not cargo per se, but even the tutorial for a cli-tool is like “setup clap, which has 20 dependencies and a kitchen sink”. The whole (cargo-centric) ecosystem is much like Node, with the same problems.

    And also, cargo.toml has inconsistencies and double-standards.
