Hi, We, at the "Global South", are pretty conscious of band width, processing and space limitations. That's one of the things that point me to Pharo and Fossil, because is incredible what you can do with such small packages and one wonders how much of the computing experience is just dealing with incidental complexity and huge inefficient packages and workflows, just because we have resources to spare on them, until incidental complexity bite us.
As an example of making big data small, with such self contained environment, I developed a prototype of the Panama Papers (the biggest leak in the history of journalism) just in 80 Mb of software and data.
