- CSm1n 8mo agoNotepad was just a wrapper around some default win32 controls. Judging alone by exe size is not right, although probably a “statically linked” notepad would still be smaller than emacs
- eviks 8mo agoIt is right by definition. Link emacs to those controls, shed some statically linked weight, and it will also become lighter!
