.NET 8 is suppose to greatly improve AOT. Depending on your use case, you might be able to get around bundling the runtime entirely.

As far as I understand, .NET 8 AOT has nothing to do with the webassembly blob that gets served to the client.

They’re working on it. .NET 8 introduces the option to perform a degree of trimming on the AOT output. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/host-an...

Actually dotnet wasm can be further trimmed in .net 8. but for most non rtl people the biggest improvement will be to reduce the locale bundle. Sadly it’s not possible to specify which ones you want. Also it’s not possible to bundle DLLs/webcil. I.e the dotnet compiler will be shipped to the client thus you will also get shipped lots of dlls
