Honestly the memory cost isn't that much.

Code size has not grown as fast as memory and storage capacity has. One is constrained by manufacturing progress, the other is constrained by programmer output.

Deno is sub 50MB

For any non trivial app, your assets and working set data will likely dwarf the code size itself.

EDIT: Was looking at an old bug, deno is closer to 100MB. Starting to feel a bit large but still.
