Description
Great library everyone - I'm really impressed. I reproduced the example just fine on Windows 11.
Anyway, maybe this is just the nature of Wasm Components, or it's necessary to support every possibility of a dynamic language like Python. And maybe there are settings I've not discovered yet.
But is it possible to produce a Hello World example that's much smaller than 35MB (and to reduce the size of the wasmtime host side bindings from 30MB)?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the Hello World example and measuring the 35MB module and 30MB host-side bindings described in the issue. Inspect the project’s build and packaging entry points to identify where those sizes originate; done means demonstrably smaller outputs with size measurements for both artifacts.
