99 MB to 71 KB: rewriting MiniStats in Machin

MiniStats is a real-time metrics dashboard built with Bun — the binary is 99 MB because it bundles the entire runtime. I rewrote it in Machin/MFL, a language that compiles through C. The binary is 71 KB. That's a 1400× reduction. Same features, same dashboard, same commands.

I benchmarked my language against Rust and Zig, and deleted my best number

I set out to prove my language beats Rust and Zig. The first thing I found was my own benchmark measuring the order I ran things in — turning a claimed 20-25% win into a tie. Here is what machin actually wins, what it loses, and the 45ms speedup I wrote and then threw away.
