dependency hell is a completely different topic. not always you can feel safe by just downloading number of deps from the internet and building those.

i also would like to mention this post i recently saw https://friend.camp/@aparrish/110816062043431740
I generate poetry from a markov chain on a microcontroller using a solar panel harvester chip and some big capacitors. i originally wrote the generator with CircuitPython, which gave me 2–3 lines of poetry per discharge from the harvester.
well I just finished reimplementing the generator in C++ and now I get... ~200 lines of poetry per discharge (!)
