It's very cool to see the JS ecosystem reducing dependencies and I hope this trend continues.
Astro has gone from 247 deps in v6 to 190 in v7.

This was actually part of the reason I made the Rust markdown processing, the unified ecosystem is a lot of deps!
I still have some plans in this area that should reduce the overall count further, though.
The ultimate reduction is leaving JS to the browser and write backend code in Go, Rust, Java, C#,...
Do you really have to make the exact same comment in every related thread?
It’s just tedious at this point.
Yes, apparently it isn't tedious enough, otherwise you would have not wasted a few seconds replying.
Astro is a backend project...
Which started as JavaScript, and as all things go, got rewriten into Rust.
+90% of Astro is still written in TS
Still.... lets see how long it stays that way, now that RIR got started.
