That's fair, but still, you'll be pulling in a lot of really fundamental stuff that JavaScript gets for free. String manipulation, fundamental data structures, iterators, HTTP, JSON (de)serialization, etc.

One of the examples he mentioned was 200Kb.

That's still a lot more than "a single file of javascript", certainly, but it's not that bad.

Trade-offs all the way down, as ever.
