@laund Please read my other toots below the main one. I am aware that rust supports dynamic linking.
The multiple megabytes binary size figure comes from an app I made using libcosmic, which is ~25 MB stripped.
This is not inherent to rust but it is because all the libraries are statically linked in.

@katzenmann libcosmic is pretty bloated imo. I've made small games in Bevy, a whole ass game engine, which were smaller than that.
