Project mention: The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-18> Downloading 3GB of dependencies is not a thing that happens in the Rust ecosystem. Reality is orders of magnitude smaller than that.
Assuming they're talking about the built size of dependencies that are left lying around after cargo builds a binary, they're really not exaggerating by much. I have no difficulty of believing that there are Rust projects that leave 3GB+ of dependency bloat on your file system after you build them.
To take the last Rust project I built, magic-wormhole.rs [1], the source code I downloaded from Github was 1.6 MB. After running `cargo build --release`, the build directory is now 618 MB and there's another 179 MB in ~/.cargo, for a total of 800 MB used.
All this to build a little command line program that sends and receives files over the network over a simple protocol (build size 14 MB). God forbid I build something actually complicated written in Rust, like a text editor.

I've only built small apps such as airdash, but always felt that the state management libraries such as Provider felt overly complex. Once I learnt about how to use ValueNotifier & ValueListenableBuilder I have started using it instead and will not look at libraries again until I ran into I find myself writing a bunch of boilerplate etc.
