  But 970 KB < 710 KB + larger dependencies. Both Rust and D have dependencies, as mentioned by the parent comment. You can argue whether or not the dependencies should be included in an executables size, but I think the comment is trying to show that Nim can create a complete program (with no dependencies) with less space.

    Didn't he mention that these binaries are statically linked? i.e. no external dependencies?

      "I was not able to figure out how to pass a static option to rustc"

  I mentioned that I couldn't get a fully static binary with Rust and D.
• zem 12y ago
  sounds like the D binary was not statically linked.
  • Cyph0n 12y ago
    It was not. I couldn't find the correct compiler flag.
