Why I love Rust for tokenising and parsing

Saying a the language adds 10-20 mb and go on to say it's almost nothing is avoiding the issue raised. The footprint always matters and we should use the right tool for the right job.

It's not ignoring it, it's saying that 20Mb of data isn't really a lot these days which is objectively true for most contexts.

It's not just data. It's data that needs to be memory mapped and faulted into RAM.

Go programs do have kinda slower startup times compared to regular dynamically linked C/C++ programs.
