 Haskell/GHC(SplitObjs).


I don't believe D runtime can make any bloat, even whole Phobos is 1MB - how it
can become 14MB?

Its not Phobos. "Hello world" in D, OCaml, and haskell/ghc are all 
around 300kb (+-100k)

DWT or GTK can easily add 10mb to a distro. There may be D bindings for 
lightweight GUI toolkits like FLTK (http://www.fltk.org/) or something - 
   i dunno, i never bothered checking. Even if theres no bindings, you 
can always use some WYSIWYG tool to generate a C skeleton to plug your D 
code into.


And on a side note: last time i native compiled a quick graph 
visualization GUI in java the dependencies were like 50mb heh.
