The practice seems to indicate that the theory is false.

The very first Rust program I built with Rust was an _example_ 
program for the Amethyst game engine (granted, a big endeavour).

It downloaded _146_ packages and then proceeded to build them at 
a glacial pace. This was a really "npm" moment.

In D my _full_ products have 6 packages (24 when counting 
sub-packages).

It seems slim stdlib has enormous community implications and 
require inordinate amount of coordination and agreements ; it 
changes the whole culture.
