kamen69884y@frogstair Good libraries have tried to be less bound by dependencies lately. Some are even completely dependency-free.

eo287540014y@kamen tbh I'm not sure if that's always a good thing. Let's say that library A depends on B, and C also depends on B. If A tries to "get rid of its B dependency" it'll just re-implement it and we'll end up with duplicate code

kamen69884y@eo2875 I was talking about genuine situations when a library is self-sufficient - e.g. lodash. But yeah, what you described is also valid, and in that case it's kind of a "pick your poison" scenario.
I did it guys. I finally used binary tree traversal in a web page. With fucking JavaScript.
