Wasmer ships everything by default, including 3 compilers (LLVM is the big one!), which adds most of the size. However, the wasmer runtime in headless mode weights only about 2 megabytes.

Even more, even if you include only one compiler instead of 3 (just singlepass) it would be in the order of 5-10Mb.

Stay tuned, because if you are in macOS/iOS you will see even smaller binary sizes!
