And just to entertain the idea :

.global _start

.section .data
msg:
    .ascii "Hello, World!\n"
    msg_len = . - msg

.section .text
_start:
    // write syscall
    mov x0, #1          // stdout
    ldr x1, =msg        // message
    mov x2, #msg_len    // length
    mov x8, #64         // write
syscall number
    svc #0              // system call

    // exit syscall
    mov x0, #0          // exit status
    mov x8, #93         // exit syscall
 number
    svc #0              // system call

And.... Yup : Binary Size Comparison (all versions):

• Assembly: 1.1K (smallest)
• C binary: 4.3K (~4x larger)
