Java and .NET also have linkers, which can help bring down that size, even if not as much as Rust.

I don’t doubt they’ll get some reduction, but it will always be more than zero.

Yep, as I stated it is never going to be as small as Rust.

Still, it might be small enough.

Check the new version of Unity for browser deployment.

796 KB for a Flash like game, with the productivity of all Unity's tooling, is already more than good.

That's awesome!

I still think that's an order of magnitude too high for a lot of use cases, but much easier to swallow for sure.
