It feels like a completely new product, doesn't it!?

the Launching Enso programs instantly #10121 has delivered on its promise
startup time of Enso backend is significantly improved
it is turning Enso application into (almost) a different product

However, while making everything native image ready, we have taken many shortcuts. Our focus was to:

get the Enso engine running in native image mode - Generate native image for engine-runner #3638
get the language server running in native image mode - done by @hubertp
get the Standard.* libraries running in native image mode - kudos to @hubertp

that has been delivered, but only at enormous increase of the native enso launcher size. Time to look back and check what to change to make the enso launcher smaller.

The above picture is taken after following steps at the Native Image Build Report page. The interactive report HTML page is also available for your inspection.

What can we do to make the launcher smaller?

With the recent integrations of

the size of the native image is greatly reduced as will be confirmed by #14565. Informal build with GraalVM EE on Linux with ed670eb seems promising:

Generated binary built-distribution/enso-engine-0.0.0-dev-linux-amd64/enso-*/bin/enso size (204 MB) is within the expected size: [200, 410] MB.

... soon we may get below the low boundary! That means we have reached levels we were originally dreaming of!

Final Report

Take a look at enso-build-report-ed670eb53a43d5a49a6264faecaebb5631e8ccc5.zip report to see the improvements:

Reducing Code Area

There is 127MB in the code area. According to code distribution per package

There are huge amounts of code donated by 3rd party libraries:

14% occupied by Google Analytics
12% occupied by Snowflake JDBC driver
5% by Amazon web services

In #13073, I added a test that traverses all the JARs that we distribute and checks whether they contain native libraries in their resources. The results are reported in #13073 (comment) and in #13073 (comment). I am copying the results here for readability:

Altogether, there are 154 native libraries inside all the JARs that are distributed.

Looks like a lot of optimizing opportumities. What cn we gain by extracting out these lib?

smaller JAR files
smaller distribution (by removing lib of other architectures)
faster boot (no need to extract libs)
anything else?

This line alone adds about 23MB to the final image. Do we really want to include all locale? Some Base tests rely on appropriate locale so it's not like we can just remove this line (which also adds a warning during NI build).

@radeusgd could rewrite the tests to not use Polish locale and Warsaw time zone
we can include just some selected locales and not all
probably also a task for Update to GraalVM for JDK 24 #12452 as doing that before upgrade risks additional changes after upgrade

On a general note:

a product targeted for non-programming audience may need to be localized
expecting our audience talks English limits the use base significantly
even Czech version of Excel has localized function names
government agencies are likely to have policies to require L10N (if not also A18Y)
should Enso target such markets, we will need to do way better job on I18N, L10N and A18Y

radeusgd Mar 12, 2025

Many of these locales are used in Locale.enso. Do we want to remove them / move to separate library that requires JVM mode? I don't think 23MB are worth the hassle?

JaroslavTulach Mar 12, 2025
Collaborator Author

23MB is more than 10pct of the enso native executable (without other than Standard.Base library). I think 10pct is a lot!

If we don't fight for 10pct, shall we try to reduce the size at all!?

Ok

We use snowflake-jdbc dependency rather than snowflake-jdbc-thin because, despite the name, the latter is badly packaged and can't be used in our system out of the box. This means that some dependencies, that are already included in other libraries, are duplicated.
In theory there is some potential to clean it up but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

Do you have details on what's wrong with snowflake-jdbc-thin or shall I create a new issue to investigate such a replacement?

By Update to GraalVM for JDK 24 #12452 the size of enso executable goes down to 357MB from current 412MB - e.g. 14% decrease.
Using newer native-image is a cheap way to make enso launcher smaller.

Turns out that right now most of our standard library dynamic libs are duplicated
removing duplication wouldn't reduce the size of enso executable (as the libraries are dynamic)
but it would reduce the size of AppImage & co. distributions
Remove duplicated .so libraries from AppImage & other distributions #12557

The cost of Transitive Closure of clueless `polyglot java import` statements

Pavel Marek got idea to avaluate possible impact of EnsoLibraryFeature on the size
of the generated binary. The library feature registers a lot of methods for reflection
and this needlessly increases the transitive closure of code that gets into native image.

Thus let's compare the size of the image with and without these registrations. By running

enso$ git log | head -n1
commit a1d2c5002a119cacd4bdb3366a7b5a1ba4d67039
enso$ ENSO_LAUNCHER=native sbt buildEngineDistribution
enso$ ls -l built-distribution//enso-engine-*/enso-*/bin/enso
465381264  2 dub 11:05 built-distribution//enso-engine-0.0.0-dev-macos-aarch64/enso-0.0.0-dev/bin/enso

e.g. right now the image on Mac OS X M1 is 443 MB.

After disabling the reflection capabilities:

the resulting size of the native image executable drops down to:

More than 100MB, 28% is included only because of polyglot imports. That doesn't mean we can get rid of all those megabytes, but certainly we can lower the amount of included transitive code by using own Java wrappers around the provided APIs (as advocated at #9997 (comment)).

Speaking from the experience of moving some of the polyglot java imports behind Java wrappers - it's not always obvious if AOT compilation will result in a smaller binary. This has been pretty much "try and see how it goes" approach for me.
It's still probably a good idea to hide those behind wrappers but results may vary.

simple way to make enso executable smaller is to decrease the number of Standard. libraries we compile into it
Dual NI + JVM Mode for Loading Libraries #13172 promises a way to do it
we could compile in just Standard.Base (and probably Table & Database)
the rest could be loaded via HotSpot later

An interesting tool to investigate is described at Finding Cuts in Static Analysis Graphs to Debloat Software paper. The tool is available for download. In addition to

the Native Image Build Report page and the . interactive report HTML page ....

it could be a very useful tool in debloating the enso launcher.

With the recent integrations of

the size of the native image is greatly reduced as will be confirmed by #14565. Informal build with GraalVM EE on Linux with ed670eb seems promising:

Generated binary built-distribution/enso-engine-0.0.0-dev-linux-amd64/enso-*/bin/enso size (204 MB) is within the expected size: [200, 410] MB.

... soon we may get below the low boundary! That means we have reached levels we were originally dreaming of!
