Virgil compiles to Wasm and brings its own GC as well, and the runtime is on the order of about 4KB. The GC is a simple semi-space copying collector and the compiler prunes away dead code from libraries, so binaries are pretty small. So overall I don't think this is a Wasm issue as it is mostly a language runtime size issue.
