Not really; it has a big unshakable core

• Bahamut 10y ago
  Got numbers? I know someone who was able to get a simple app down to below 30kb including polyfills (albeit with a lot of work using Google Closure), and from what I understand that was before AoT compilation was there. Much of the core is shakeable, I don't believe your assertion at all. As you use more features, the app size would grow would be true due to using parts that were previously shakeable becoming unshakable, but that complexity being in a unified language/base of a framework worked on by very smart people is most of the time better than homebrewed business logic by an above average developer
