Produces smaller binaries than bun too-- one of my applications, packaged by pkg for Windows, is about 70 MB (and actually does things; this isn't a Hello World). And it compresses well (must be including library sources in the binary as plain text); in a ZIP it's about 25 MB.
Still not small, but I'm not sure what Bun's doing to come out 20 MB larger than an app with actual functionality and dependencies (this one has express, sqlite, passport, bcrypt, and a bunch of others-- essentially everything you'd need for a web service).
