I would say being 20x larger than the largest JS framework is pretty significant. There's a lot of use-cases that are simply not plausible if you need to wait for 2mb to download.

Maybe they can use some DCE to get it smaller, idk. Go binaries have never been that small so I have my doubts, but hopefully!

EDIT: I see the release notes now that says 500k compressed. That's much better. I didn't realize webassembly could be compressed, is this just gzip?

The difference between 123k and 500k is ~4x, not ~20x, no?

Yeah, not sure if you caught this before my edit, but I didn't see the release notes that said 500k at first. I didn't realize that webassembly could be gzipped and get that much savings.
