The crates.io ecosystem for Rust... is like the amazing girlfriend that you go head over heels for, make her your wife, and then you meet the in-laws ... but it's too late now.

Unlimited access to a bunch of third party code is great as you're getting started.

Until it isn't and you're swimming in a fishing net full of code you didn't write and dependencies you do not want. Everything you touch eventually brings all of tokio along with it. And 3 or 4 different versions of random number generators or base64 utilities, etc. etc.
