If you try to compile hello-world in C, you would need a gigantic libc.so, with a lot of stuff you do not need.

These 166 packages you need to compile Rocket, not your hello-world. Rocket itself is much more complex then your hello-world, like libc.so is much more complex than hello-world coded in C, I see nothing wrong with it. Rocket and libc.so were created for solving a wide class of problems and hello-world is just one problem from that class.
