This is a good point. Just out of curiosity I decided to check it out - it has 905 dependencies totaling 136M on top of the runtime, that seems like a bit of a stretch for something seemingly simple.

edit: the answer with pkg and node bundled is 64MB and about edit: 2.4MB rolled up with the bugs fixed
