Bazel doesn’t need the JVM as it’s built into its self contained binary.

Hm, I guess my point was that it still needs the JVM, it just uses the bundled version. I guess that wasn’t clear.

Yes, but the bundled JRE is slimmed down, to the point where, last I checked, the bazel standalone binary is ~50Mb.

50mb.

"slimmed down"

lol.

You might not want to look at some golang binaries ;)
