That post is generally interesting, but this is non-sense:
"#Rust software commonly consists of a large amount of dependencies" - big nope.
A "large amount of dependencies" is found where software is high-level, and that is due to the nature of that.
E.g., @oreboot has very little dependencies, and so do the little tools I create.
And no, this has *nothing* to do with the language, but with the use case.
Btw, I tried diffoscope, and it fails marvelously at big binaries.
