A huge bet we're placing on our Rust compiler is that we'll control the supply chain much more tightly. The core infrastructure of the project will ship as an architecture-optimized binary (for local dev) or WebAssembly (for browser dev).

In the process, we're being careful and empathetic about the incremental upgrade paths and ecosystem compatibility, so we're shipping a number of packages that'll completely disappear in the future.

You'll see us drop a ton of deps and weight in the short term. Watch this space. Thanks for your feedback, I'm on the same page.
