>Install Clang/LLVM. It's like 300MB

Isn't this like a first computer world problem? How many gigabytes does current Visual Studio take? Not talking about VS Code, because it's only an IDE, which still requires the actual Visual Studio C++ as the compiler.

If anything, it seems like a non-first world problem. I assume they have older, less powerful hardware in developing countries.

It is possible to have “headless” MS compiler & build tools in Windows, by installing Windows SDK. It may be used with VSCode.

The full Visual Studio is not required.

How much space does it take?

A surprisingly large amount. Many gigs. I'm not on my Windows machine right now, so I can't give you any figures, but it's enormous.
