An explanation of why Rust binaries are larger than C binaries by default and how to optimize them for size.
Sorry for the awful editing lol. Subscribe and all that, I stream programming here and on twitch.Why it's here

TL;DR: Rust statically links STD and includes a ton of debug information in the binaries that isn't present in C binaries, Dynamically linked Rust binaries without any debug information become comparable or even slightly smaller than C binaries
