Yeah you don't. You never added the size of the dependencies (like clang) to the size of the compiler.

And thats what I am saying. You don't even need to add the size of your stdlib. A compiler does not include the stdlib as per your definition . So your compiler is actually much less than 400kb.

Please list these "dependencies" other than the C compiler that's needed to bootstrap the language anyway. I'll wait.

> other than the C compiler

On windows, clang is about 100 mb download and it further requires msvc install which is around 1 gb download if you only download the build tools.

That in itself is a fucking 1.1 gb dependency.
