Almost  every  package  I  install requires a few other packages. This
'idea of using dependent packages' turns FreeBSD (and other
unix-systems) to an ugly monster.

For example, I don't need Perl or Python but a few packages I install
require them.

Does exist a programming under unix without these dependencies?

P.S. Under Windows it is possible to write not bad applications which
depend just on libraries (KERNEL32, USER32, GDI32). And these libs
exist on every base system!!!

Is it possible in unix?

Before I thought that unix programs very compact, but they are huge!
