alt Hacker NewsIt’s funny what “tiny” means for different people depending on their background. I expected it to be under an MB as well and was surprised by 6MB.

For comparison, I publish a CLI tool written in Dart, can compile to native anything including Wasm , the Linux binary is around 5MB and it does quite a lot.

A typical Go binary would be 2-3 times larger. A typical Node project would easily pull more than 6 MiB of just code, not counting the runtime.
Basically, for me tiny means it fits on a floppy 1.44 HD.
Naturally meaningless when people carry around USB sticks that might even hold a 1 TB, but alas.
