And, typically, you can pare it down as needed. If you've got a really small
box and don't need tasking & want to stick to some subset of the language in
your coding practices, you can get the runtime down to nothing at all.

Of course, one then needs to be careful that after having removed many of
the language's services that one doesn't just turn around and reproduce them
in some other way in the code. I've seen this done often - especially with
respect to tasking. Someone will get rid of tasking because its "too
inefficient" then just inefficiently juggle code all over the place to fill
up idle time or reinvent tasking in some other form.
