alt Hacker NewsDid they say anywhere what they did? Rebuilding the stdlib as part of your build can shrink it a lot depending on how much of it you use, but that is still nightly only. Maybe they went no_std or created their own?

They didn't but keep in mind that the app is currently 170MiB. The standard library shouldn't have added more than a few hundred kilobytes. They already likely pay similar costs for c++, but it's more worthwhile as they have a lot more c++ code total.
Also note that if you statically link to the rust std library, lto will excise the majority of it anyways, no need to rebuild it.
