yeah 90MB for a hello world is big.

Approximately 2,700 times bigger than it could be.

I got 4Gigs on my phone and 4x that on my laptop. I don't care about 90megs.

What's the point in looking at size ? I can see two:

- want to email the exe, and you have limits on mail size - want to be ecofriendly, in that case stop watching netflix for 2 hours and you'll have your megs

The demo of Quake II, contained 3 fully playable levels, and is 11 MB.
I see it differently, what if I want to have more than 40 apps on my phone?

Although, to be fair it seems likely the executable size will shrink with time.
