No, not like any other compiled language. Just like any other native compiled language, maybe, but Java and C# are also compiled yet require a large runtime in order to run any application. An 8Mb executable written in Rust is going to be 8Mb total. An 8Mb executable written in C# or Java is going to weigh much more than that when you take into account the framework. Now, one could argue that it is almost a given for the JVM to be installed on a given computer but you can't say the same for .NET when doing cross-platform development.
