And how many dependencies does Hono have? Looks like about 26. And how many dependencies do those have?

A single static zig executable isn’t the same as a a pipeline of package management dependencies susceptible to supply chain attacks and the worst bitrot we’ve had since the DOS era.

Zero.

I'm guessing you're looking at the `devDependencies` in its package.json, but those are only used by the people building the project, not by people merely consuming it.

That doesn't prevent supply chain attacks. Dev dependencies are still software dependencies and add a certain level of risk.

This is needlessly pedantic unless you are writing from an OS, browser, etc. that you wrote entirely by yourself, without using an editor or linter or compiler not written by you, in which case I tip my cap to you.

Only in the sense that any other software on the developers' machines adds a certain level of risk.
