Well, we should be impressed with 25MB for a decent game editor since the other players like Unity and Unreal Engine are probably around 25GB. It's also a fraction of Slack or Chrome or even the Rust compiler I believe.

The Chromium package on Arch Linux is around 68MB. The Electron runtime is a surprisingly reasonable size. Interestingly, the Go package is over 110MB. Rust is larger.

  The Chromium package on Arch Linux is actually just a bit under 200MB when installed. Are you looking at the download size?

      I didn't check, but if the package consists mainly of binary, optimized executables, the compression may be very limited...
