@XxAlexXx There are a few reasons.

1. Because I can.
2. For bragging rights.
3. When Maciej Cegłowski gave his talk about the website obesity crisis in 2015, the average web page weighed over 2MB. It's only gotten worse since then, and I don't want to be part of the problem.
4. Heavy web pages eat up mobile devices' battery and data plans.
5. Heavy web pages take longer to load, and are more likely to annoy visitors into leaving.

Instead of YouTube use LBRY, Odysee or PeerTube
Instead of Twitter use Mastodon
Instead of FaceBook stop putting your personal life on the internet

@yyp and I were thinking about changing the strategy to handle builtin functions for #antimony.

The current approach involves having a tiny set of functions (like print, exit, etc.) implemented in the target language and slapping them in front of the generated code.

We were thinking to replace this with an "inline" keyword that can be used to embed raw code snippets in the target language into antimony.

Is this really a good approach, or are there even better alternatives?
