Double edge sword. Deps are great! Functionality added quickly. Deps are terrible! They broke my app.

If your app has a long shelf time, the less deps you rely on, the easier to manage from what I've seen.

For some reason Golang feels like it makes sense here. Pretty much everything you need is in core. *Disclaimer, I don't have any Golang apps in prod but I'd love to hear from those that do.
