I am concerned with the size of parrot recently -- libparrot.so is like 650K, and libparrot.a is like 770K. This is stripped and without JIT (and there is a lot more to come, right?)
The ability to build the VM in an extremely stripped-down configuration would be really useful for embedded environments (where you only have, say a 4MB flash that must hold a kernel, all libs, apps, etc...). JIT can be turned off to make the VM smaller -- how about making it so that parrot can be optionally built without profililng, debug, etc. as well -- would that make it smaller? -- Burl.
