Interesting, although I checked and on NixOS the binary is just 29MB. It was statically linked, with just libc left as dynamic.

I think 29MB is still huge for a terminal text editor, but nevertheless not "hundreds".

Language grammars are ~200-250MB though. They are in a separate folder, and often they are all bundled to support all the languages. Some of them are HUGE.
