What is the size of the executable that pkg produces for a Carlo example app?

linux: 39MB macOS: 39MB Windows: 27MB

I wonder if this can be further reduced.

Is the package compressed? The space saving seems minor if so. A "Hello World" with Electron is ~40MB on Windows and ~50MB on Mac when it's compressed into an installer (DMG/EXE installer).

NeutralinoJS says it can run in as little as 1MB https://neutralino.js.org/

Too bad it doesn't support macOS.
