helix-lite

I notice that helix take ~100MB to Download while neovim only ~25MB when I install it on proot-distro alpine (aarch64). My use case is to create smallest dev environment on my Android termux in case of emergency. Does helix has several feature flags for conditional compilation?

Helix itself is 16mb, but the additional mb are mostly from syntax highlighting grammars. You can select which ones you want and delete the rest.

I see. Seems the problem is in Alpine packaging 🤔
It's weird that the Alpine package details say it only 8.58 MB while it includes the whole grammars.
