Do you do a lot of work in WASM? What is a reasonable size? Or just against the every increasing internet bloat in general?

Binary bloat is not just about size; it impacts startup time and icache. It’s basically the speed of light launch time.

So you’re telling me rust is not good for UNIX style tools.
