Is it 400mb? Could be V8 for plugins.

Thanks for reminding me. Unfortunately yes, it's because of v8 (for Deno).

For extensions, the choice was either TypeScript (and get this bloat) or go with Lua and a much smaller binary (but less popular language).

But - I just realized stripping it brings it down to 76MB so I guess that's ok! Will push a commit :)
