Jeez, and I thought 100 KB was absurd.

Do you do a lot of work in WASM? What is a reasonable size? Or just against the every increasing internet bloat in general?

Think about how many instructions fit in 100 KB. Why are they in your hello world?

Binary bloat is not just about size; it impacts startup time and icache. It’s basically the speed of light launch time.

So you’re telling me rust is not good for UNIX style tools.
