This has not been my experience at all. Most Rust developers unfortunately seem quite happy to adopt modern programming bad practices. (There are many exceptions, of course.)

Example: I went with the first Rust program I could find installed on my computer, tealdeer. It's a dead simple program: run `tldr progname` and it will print a handful of examples of how to run `progname` in your terminal. Run `tldr --update` and it will download the latest version of the database containing these examples from a web server.

To build this extremely basic CLI program, I need ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN distinct crates.
