I know that one thing you guys are working on or are at least aware of is the size of single-file executables. From a technical perspective, is there a path forward on this?

I'm not familiar with Bun's internals, but in order to get the size down, it seems like you'd have to somehow split up/modularize Bun itself and potentially JavaScriptCore as well (not sure how big the latter is). That way only the things that are actually being used by the bundled code are included in the executable.

Is this even possible? Is the difficulty on the Bun/Zig side of things, or JSC, or something else? Seems like a very interesting (and very difficult) technical problem.

Any package version that didn't follow the x.y.z format was excluded, and any package that had less published versions than their largest version number was excluded (e.g. a package at version 1.123.0 should have at least 123 published versions)

I made a fairly significant (dumb) mistake in the logic for extracting valid semver versions. I was doing a falsy check, so if any of major/minor/patch in the version was a 0, the whole package was ignored.

The post has been updated to reflect this.
