I'm having a hard time imagining how 20k lines of code gets a browser with no libraries. Just zlib by itself is 12k lines. freetype is 30k lines, or stb_truetype is 5k lines. Something doesn't seem like it's adding up. Am I missing something? Is this just calling into the OS for rendering?

No Rust dependencies. Commonly available system libraries/frameworks are used for the actual drawing. The README of the repository outlines exactly which ones are being used on what OS.

On Linux, there are 78 dynamically linked libraries, such as for X11, vector graphics, glib/gobjectlibgobject, graphics formats, crypto, encryption, etc.
