C, Go, and Rust would require different app packages for different OSes--that's not a problem. The problem is bundling a 100MB runtime for a CLI.


Java 9 has a linker, you have remove everything that is not needed and have a application specific runtime.

On top of that, if lucky enough to be on an Linux x64 system, you can AOT compile to native code.


people bundle a browser for a tiny icon in your taskbar so 100MB for a runtime in a CLI isn't gonna prevent people from using it
