Also smaller than half the binaries in /usr/bin on my x86_64 Fedora 39 system[1] and less than half the size of every binary executable in /bin and /usr/bin on my x86_64 Mac[2] in spite of the fact that all the Linux and Mac binaries are dynamically linked to at least libc / libSystem.
It's also less than half the size of Xcode's PNG-compressed Retina application icon (83,056 bytes).
[1] This includes such gems as cat (40,848 bytes), tac (40,808 bytes), and tee (40,968 bytes).
[2] Where even /usr/bin/true weighs in at an astonishing 100,512 bytes, despite its entire text section disassembling to
pushq %rbp
movq %rsp, %rbp
xorl %eax, %eax
popq %rbp
