Many interpreted languages have severe legacy issues because the binary itself is huge. So in the case of, for example, Python, oftentimes it could be a hundred or maybe 200 megabytes just to get everything into a container runtime. Same with scripting languages. For example, Deno TypeScript. It's going to bundle the entire V8 runtime inside, and you're going to have close to a hundred megabyte runtime. If you look at interpreted languages, they're really an issue in terms of the size. A binary though, especially for a modern-compiled language like Go or Rust, is tiny, and so the runtime bloat is essentially non-existent. And if you look at the startup time, this really plays a role with CLI execution or deploying it into production. You also eliminate the runtime dependency hell, the…
