Chesterton's fence: those megabytes and programs are probably there for a reason. The beauty of open source is that with some code spelunking you can find out why. I'll provide clues: V8, i18n, add-ons.
A while back I did some testing to try to figure out why the nodejs binary got so much larger between 12 and 14, and unicode tables turned out to be a ridiculously large part of it. These are some nodejs v14.17.2 armhf (armv7+neon, thumb) executable sizes I got while fiddling with various options:
What is the problem this feature will solve?
Binaries are getting bigger and bigger.
From the original 30MB to nearly 100MB,
The warehouse image on docker contains too much, from the original 100MB to nearly 1GB, please remove those programs except Node.js. (Example: Python)
Overly large programs seem to be far from elegant runtimes.
What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
Reduce the size of Node.js and exclude other programs.
What alternatives have you considered?
