> You could bundle the runtime with the application like Go does, but the runtime is pretty big and the language is too dynamic to remove the parts you aren't actually going to use in advance, so it's not as easy as a sell. It's not so big as to be prohibitive though, especially in a dev environment... if this became the norm, I would be a lot happier with using python-based tooling than I am today.
