Hi rubygems, I really enjoyed Mike Perham's article on "Kill your dependencies" with talks about some of the downsides of adding a rubygem to your project that itself has lots of dependencies on other gems as well as looking for all ruby alternatives to gems that use native extensions.
It got me thinking that an ubercool improvement to rubygems would be the ability the see the runtime dependency count and whether or not a gem uses native extensions on the ruby gem page for a gem. Like a couple more pieces of info in addition to required ruby version.
Not sure if this is the place for unsolicited feature requests, and I just wanted to say I heart ruby gems and
rubygems.org, thanks for your work.
