Not close to fully runtime-less sure, but about as close as you can get. It's the same way C isn't runtime-less compared to assembly because it has crt.0 but compared to Java it effectively is.

Have you looked at transpiled Svelte code? It's 5-10x bigger than the source code because an entire runtime library is injected and your code is rewritten to use that library at compile time.
