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.

Prometheus + Grafana takes an afternoon and 4 GB of RAM to show me what uptime already knows. MiniStats is a 25 MB binary that does the same thing in seconds — one server, N clients, a WebSocket, no database. Here's why I built it and how it works.
