Also, the deploy-tool has a tree shaker which strips the deployed binary
down to only the needed code in the image. These images are tiny in
comparison to SBCL or other image based development platforms as Slava has
made an effort to keep deployed images small.
You can try the tool out in the Listener:
USE: ui.tools.deploy
"hello-world" deploy-tool
...or to deploy based on the deploy.factor configuration file:
USE: tools.deploy
"hello-world" deploy
The UI deploy-tool will create or update this configuration as well.
With cross-compilation and deployment, Factor will probably run well in
memory constrained environments.
