the claim of "no runtime" is a bit dubious... you're telling me that you're statically linking a full, modern UI library into every app?

A runtime is needed for GC, unless you're fundamentally changing Javascript. Even golang has a runtime.
Even C has one, regardless of how tiny it happens to be, or the possibility of freestanding deployment.
In compiler speak, a runtime provides all infrastructure required by the language for program startup, shutdown, infrastructure for the standard library execution.
Its documentation mentions a garbage collector.

They probably are, given that's how Flutter and other Rust GUI frameworks work too.
