I instead, use VC++ latest with C++23 import std.
As for the size requirements, and having Windows experience all the way back to Windows 3.0, you can do exactly the same tricks with C++.

Have you checked what dll dependencies you get if you build such an app? And have you actually tried running such an executable on win9x?
If you use only Win32 APIs from C++ just like since Petzold books, the dlls are already there, there is also static linking for other stuff.
Win 9x is a dead OS, why would I bother with that outside retro computing?
Understood, yes, but I described my reasons in my reply to another comment already. Your proposed solution is not equivalent to what I am doing, it cannot work on all the systems I support, and would never be as dependency free.
