I don't know how the Rust team thinks, but I believe that minimizing binary sizes is not a very big priority for them. The cost of a gigabyte these days is, ~0.01$ (or less) for local hard drives, $0.4 for NVME and about $0.1 for AWS EBS...

Technically of course it's cool how small Nim binaries are, and it does make certain things feasible which with larger binary sizes might be difficult.
