AFAIK no.

Well, this has nothing to do with an "explosion", this is a rather
fixed overhead (depending on the packages you need). Sure, if you only
write "null" or "hello world" programs, this overhead is significant,
but as soon as you start working on real projects, then this becomes
insignificant.
