gollark: Every person you depend on *can inject code in your application* and it would be pretty hard to notice. We have literally *seen* this attack.
gollark: Specifically, slower package management (especially with transistive dependencies), worse performance from loading more files for no good reason, and, more importantly, *security*.
gollark: Anyway, adding more packages for basically-one-line tasks incurs costs.
