Bazel doesn’t need the JVM as it’s built into its self contained binary.



Hm, I guess my point was that it still needs the JVM, it just uses the bundled version. I guess that wasn’t clear.


Yes, but the bundled JRE is slimmed down, to the point where, last I checked, the bazel standalone binary is ~50Mb.


50mb.

"slimmed down"

lol.


You might not want to look at some golang binaries ;)
