People, why are C# generated binaries so much bigger than Java ones?

TIA,

Java object files are one per class, by default. To create a single
"assembly", you end up creating a .JAR file, which is a .ZIP file with a
manifest. So, one reason is that Java JARs are compressed.

Why are watermelons bigger than baseballs? Same reason. (Hint: a watermelon
is *not* a baseball. They have some similar characteristics, but you can't,
for example, eat a baseball).

I would not jump to conclusions here, googling "eat baseballs" would more
then likely turn up someone from the lower end of the gene pool. If not
today then tomorrow. And now that it's been mentioned someone is probably
trying to decide on soy sauce or ketchup....

Darn if you're not right, John! It's a big world out there. I wouldn't put
anything past at least somebody in the world!
