WolframScript enables Wolfram Language code to be run from any terminal

That’s actually a misconception: Apple has allowed interpreted languages (e.g. Python, as in Pythonista) to tun on iOS/iPadOS for several years now. The Wolfram Language is definitely an interpreted language and therefore would not fall afoul of their rules.

It's also a multi-gigabyte installation full of Java, C, and Wolfram code. It is huge....so I'm sure there are some difficulties.

I have been using the engine for almost a year since they announced it. Without the notebook interface, it's only 1.6 GB.

    $ du -h -d3 pkg/Wolfram/
    3.1M    pkg/Wolfram/WolframScript/bin
    3.1M    pkg/Wolfram/WolframScript
    5.0K    pkg/Wolfram/man/man1
    5.5K    pkg/Wolfram/man
     13K    pkg/Wolfram/doc/wolframscript
     14K    pkg/Wolfram/doc
     40K    pkg/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/Executables

Other people below are showing 6-8 GB on their systems, so it's lower than what I recall, but still higher than your figure I would normally bet. Are you only counting 1.6 once?

What do you mean? Should I count 1.6 multiple times?

I just realized that this number is after ZFS compression. Here is the apparent size,

    $ du -h -A -d3 pkg/Wolfram/
    5.0M pkg/Wolfram/WolframScript/bin
    5.0M pkg/Wolfram/WolframScript
    8.5K pkg/Wolfram/man/man1
    9.0K pkg/Wolfram/man
     16K pkg/Wolfram/doc/wolframscript
     16K pkg/Wolfram/doc
     30K pkg/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/Executables
     46M pkg/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/AddOns
    2.9G pkg/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/SystemFiles
    2.0K pkg/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/Configuration
    3.0G pkg/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0
    3.0G pkg/Wolfram/WolframEngine
    3.0G pkg/Wolfram/

Actually the downloaded file is a little over 1 GB,

    $ stat -f "%z %N"  Downloads/WolframEngine_12.0.0_LINUX.sh   
    1177035547 Downloads/WolframEngine_12.0.0_LINUX.sh

Sounds like the Facebook app.

I think people are okay with gigabyte apps now.

Yeah, but it is like 15-20 GB if I recall correctly. It's been a few years, but I was like daaaaang.

Nah, it's around 8GB that can be trimmed to ~5GB if some example files and graphs are deleted from the documentation.

It is about 6GB on my linux system.

The fact that they’ve “tidied up” their command-line release (somewhat) raises my hopes by a marginal amount.
