> I was always under the impresion that Rust apps are pretty lightweight

I'm not sure what gave you that impression. I'd say Rust is pretty well known for fat binaries



Most of the sticker shock from Rust binaries is due to them being statically-linked by default. Considering that, Rust binaries aren't especially large, especially if you strip them. Dynamically-linked binaries are better at obscuring their size.
