So I just hand-rolled an initial distribution bundle for NodeKit. Contents:
- nodekit bundle (main process): 1.8MB
- es module loader bundle (0.9MB)
- esbuild (Linux 64): 7.8MB
Compressed: 3.8MB
+ Node.js 16.13.2 (compressed): 21.6MB
= Total (inc. Node.js): ~25.4MB
Compare that to the Site.js Linux binary (which also included the Node.js binary) and it’s half the size (51MB vs 25.4MB).
Chuffed! :)
PS. Tune in tomorrow to see an early demo: https://small-tech.org/small-is-beautiful

I've notice a mistake :
You've writed December instead of January :)
@Tinerion Hahaha, silly me, will fix ASAP. Thanks! :)
@Tinerion Fixed. Thanks again :)
PS. Unlike Site.js, NodeKit will *not* be a single binary or come bundled with Node.js. So insofar as NodeKit itself is concerned, we’re talking about a 3.8MB compressed bundle to update.
(It will download and install the version of Node.js it needs unless it is already installed.)
