Just D's isn't preinstalled so it carries what it needs with

dynamically link if you like (`-defaultlib=libphobos2.so` on
dmd linux)
So I did some testing:
# dmd -defaultlib=libphobos2.so "app.d"
Source:
void main()
{
main();
}
Result:
app.o -> 5.3 KB
app (exe) -> 9.4 KB
# dmd -defaultlib=libphobos2.so "app.d"
Source:
import std.stdio, std.conv, core.stdc.stdlib, std.typecons,
std.parallelism;
void main()
{
main();
}
Result:
app.o -> 6 KB
app (exe) -> 13.7 KB
Just because I imported some stuff from a dynamically linked
library makes output weirdly big. Try it yourself, change the
number of imported modules and output size will significantly
change.
One question: Why?
