not the OP, but zero dependencies is possible. Also zero dependencies has and can mean things a little differently depending on the context. Like your OS is a dependency. It is possible to have an application that does need an OS, yes and they exist. If a programming language is a dependency it's possible to write your own ect... Although generally people draw the line somewhere at something that is a common denominator for some environment.

Looking at the page it seems to more target towards library writers, if you draw the line at the programming language it's certainly possible to write useful libraries with no dependencies.
