Comment on Battery packs: Let's talk about crates, babyparent

Comments

Money dictates personal philosophies.

Rust and Node have too many deps because you can't make a Patreon or Github Sponsors page for contributions to stdlib.

Go is batteries-included because it was made by Google by people with a salary.

The people writing "thousands of small packages are good" are the people making money from the clout of having made thousands of small packages.

What is Python?

It's probably both?

Started famously as batteries-included, until people started realizing there's money in dependencies.

I'm not a lot into Python, though. I still write a lot of it, but I don't really read or participate in its community.
