    you could even argue that V8 is bloated as well

    Not really, no. It’s very compact compared to Python, Java or most anything in the same league. A compiled program would be smaller, of course, and Lua is minuscule next to anything — but otherwise V8 is small and fast. Iirc Node.js takes something like 30 MB out of the box, including its modules and libraries.
