That's right, we will be able to cut it down in the future. Let me explain why: 1. Enso compiler bases on GraalVM which is 400Mb (packed)[1]. 2. The package contains GraalVM implementations of Python[2], R[3], and JavaScript[4] compilers, which weight 150Mb, 70Mb, and 50Mb respectivelly. 3. The package contains OpenCV library, as Enso has built-in bindings for it, which is 200Mb. 4. The rest (approx 200Mb) are core Enso libraries and tooling. We will be able to cut it down in the future as soon as we release Enso Marketplace which would allow you to install these things on-demand.

He were are, mostly one developper in only a few years has managed to create ~the fastest R runtime thanks to the graalVM infrastructure https://github.com/oracle/fastr + it get polyglotism for free. See also graalphp: https://github.com/abertschi/graalphp/blob/master/results.md Oracle has managed to create a language framework that enable unprecedented performance and polyglotism but there are no human resources allocated to actually tuning the implementations. Without such framework imagining one developer to implement a language and expect it to outperform the reference vm made by an army of people through decades wouldn't be a realistic expectation but now anythings possible. Though it would be nice if others companies than Oracle understood the extent of this technological leap. Actually there is only one: shopify which invest in tru
