Huh, the latest version of mysql-shell (8.0.41) drops a /usr/lib/mysqlsh/libpolyglot.so that's 175MB.

Not much documentation out there about "libpolyglot.so" but from what I gather it's part of GraalVM, which compiles Java to native binaries. Now mysqlsh is a 30MB binary + 175MB of library. Leave it to Oracle... #mysql #mysqlshell #libpolyglot
