It takes time to pull stuff in, and to set things up. I'm often amazed by how much apps do when starting up. Even Tclkit suffers from this - here's a listing of the contents of a 4.4 Mb starkit, using sdx:



Here's the same with vqx, which I'm using to try things out in Vlerq these days:



Tclkit is 2.8 Mb, with Tcl/Tk and Metakit inside, and has to open/launch the sdx starkit. Vqx is a 0.2 Mb standalone app with Lua and Vlerq embedded - it implements lsk as follows:



In all fairness, there are many years of experimentation and learning between the two - the above code is considerably streamlined over what I did in sdx. As is Vlerq w.r.t. Metakit.
