Compiler Sizes

Published 30 December 06 12:02 AM | adrian

Have you ever wondered how big a (compiled) compiler is?

csc.exe --> 70.556 bytes (C#)

jsc.exe --> 40.960 bytes (JavaScript)

vjc.exe --> 13.496 bytes (J#)

And, guess what?

vbc.exe --> 1.157.120 bytes (VB.NET)

VB guys have a lot more! (on compiler size, nothing else)

It's not fair when you comparing things but you don't know how the way they work. What if one of those compiler calls another function from another module and others don't and what if... another case n another case. Plus they all are MS's assets and not open source software, which means we don't know how the way they work.
