Javascript doesn't have a standard library (something a lot of languages provide), and nodejs's built-in functions library are... lacking. Also, the culture of providing small packages, being around for longer, and so on and so forth...

I have a project I haven't even started yet in Rust. Three dependencies in Cargo.toml. They download and install 34 dependencies.

I've now added three more (from kube-rs readme). It's now 197 dependencies. And so on.
