This is a smart thing to ship. For me it would totally be a consideration when deciding on a platform to use.

agree, small footprint & cross-platform looks like a nice alternative to electron or tauri..

Their comparison page shows some savings, but not in every case (~40 MB / ~150 MB) https://docs.deno.com/runtime/desktop/comparison/

To be fair the ~150MB is for the CEF scenario (when chromium gets bundled); and eventually they want to introduce a shared CEF runtime across apps.
