-The compilation dependency of a program on the programming language it is written on is hard if there is only one compiler that can compile the program. However, if there's a large variety of different compilers that all succesfully produce a working executable, the dependency is much softer. The same applies to e.g. websites and how compatible they are with different browsers. If only a few high-end browsers is supported, the dependency is quite hard.

+Optional dependencies are soft, especially if they don't change the features or behavior of the program. If it is possible to run an application either natively or in a web browser, the monstrous dependencies of the web browser don't need to be taken in account when assessing the application.
