Can't agree more with Jordan. I just raised this question to know if I'm
doing something wrong or 32mb is the right size. I already read the sources
of MacRuby and I hope to help in near future (my C and ObjC isn't so good).

Folks, I think everyone needs to also put this into perspective. We have a
very finite amount of engineering resources to devote to MacRuby development
(as anyone who has followed the mailing list for the last year or so already
knows) and we don't even run Rails yet. In the grander scheme of
Agreed, compression can help but the point is all MacRuby applications have a
base-size of 30MB, while other dynamically linked Objective-C applications that
do the same task are a lot smaller. Our application is 30MB before we write
anything. I think thats the problem, even with compression(alt
I agree... and we also can dmg the app and probably it will be smaller than
the zip version.

I agree, 100%, with Dave Baldwin. It would be nice to see the overall size of a
MacRuby application reduced to somewhere between 5-8MB because of the reasons
he listed. I don't think MacRuby can be a big player until we can distribute
smaller apps.

I disagree strongly. I have not downloaded apps because their size seems way
out of kilter with the functionality they offer. Who wants to support
gratuitous
Agreed, especially if you dmg your app when you ship it :)

Ops, sorry... small typo == isn't a big issue. Nobody cares for 10mb or 30mb

Daniel, can you explain why you think it's a big issue? Maybe we can help
with some temporary solutions.

Thanks Laurent, but I also think the size of apps in Mac dev is a big issue.

Laurent,
Thanks! That is awesome!
Will this reduce the footprint of HotCocoa apps as well?
Thanks,

Hi Daniel,
As Matt said, it is possible to trim out your .app bundle to only ship what's
really needed. If you do not need the standard library and extensions, removing
them might free some memory. I believe the min. size is about 20MB then (I'm
not exactly certain though), for both 32-bit and
Daniel,
Welcome to the list. Currently MacRuby doesn't optimize the output size.
There are few things you can do to reduce the file size, such as not
including the Ruby 1.9 standard library with your app if you don't need it.
In the future the app size should be reduced by only including the libra
