Why are my Go executable files so large?

I don't really consider go binaries large when I compare to the size of my node_modules.

Is ~100MB large these days?

Maybe for a go binary, mine all seem to be < 30MB

Node_modules fetch readmes, images, tests etc. The actual assets that are loaded to your code are less than half of every module, sometimes 10-30%
