That sentiment is shared by a significant amount of people[1][2][3][4], it seems.
I am also sympathetic to minimalism in life (owning essentials only) and in many of my (programming) projects (single-header libraries[5], minimal dependencies).
I think I would be content with C, Bash, Python and SDL alone, if I wasn't so dependent on the need to "exchange my time for money". (And perhaps Rust as well.)
