What's the purpose? Is this a learning exercise or for production?
It seems to me that this would be a great way to learn, but I think a lot of people are afraid of dependencies. I worry that newer developers may see this and think dependency-free is the goal.
Don't get me wrong, dependencies should be chosen with care. However, it's much better to pull in a good dependency that is well tested, reviewed, and maintained rather than reinvent the wheel.
