> why clap isn't std at this point.

Too big for many cases, there is also a lot of discussion around whether to use clap, or something smaller.



Clap is enormous and seems way too clever for everything I do. Last I looked it added 10+ seconds to compile time and hundreds of kbs to binary size. Maybe something like ffmpeg requires that complexity, but if I am writing a CLI that takes three arguments, it is a heavy cost.
