100-150mb of just a JavaScript code doesn't look that great either.

I think the problem is that you normally use 5% of the functions from your deps but still have to pull it all in.

Minimizing dependencies and writing as much as possible on your own would probably cut a 500 MB nodejs project to 5 MB in plain JS.

Note: Not a node dev but share the grief...
