i would say 'whatever is in the extra 171.97 megabytes'

i wrote a calculator app including its own implementation of decimal floating point and it's still only 20 kilobytes

1. I doubt this includes GUI

2. The Qalculate CLI is 2mb, so perhaps your 20kb calculator could add some features while still being a 100% pure calculator

yeah, the 20-kilobyte calculator runs as an x-windows application, but it doesn't have any buttons or anything; it's keyboard-driven. the 'gui' is https://gitlab.com/kragen/bubbleos/blob/master/yeso/yesocalc...

Depends a lot on the implementation. If you're dynamically linking to system objects and you're assuming the presence of X, you're chilling.

If you're using Rust and you have to compile in the whole world, probably not gonna be that small.
