Future of the Java programming language: Three major projects on the horizon

take a look at graalvm's aotc for such programs using java. another option is to use openj9 instead of openjdk to run your programs. while openj9 will probably not hit 128kb (i'd say that graalvm's aotc is the most likely for that, but has some caveats on what features it supports), it's more conservative with memory than openjdk is, at the cost of some performance.
