I’ve made containers using code written in most common programming languages (python/go/ruby/c/rust/heck even PHP/etc) which were easily under 100mb, most significantly less. If your containers are frequently >100mb, I say you’re either using the JVM or are doing it wrong!

Actually, even the entire JVM is below 60MB without Jigsaw, with Jigsaw it can go as low as 10MB

Yeah, I can easily make JVM containers under 100mb too usually, but it’s not always that small, so I wanted to give a little benefit of the doubt there.
