What causes bloat is the use of libraries and frameworks to speed development. Yes, they do speed it - providing they do what you want and you know how to use them. But very often, you're only using a small part of their functionality yet you get a large part of the baggage.
Exactly. "Hello world.c" might contain 2 lines, but how many lines after pre-processing ? 5000 ?
