I think despite being less convenient the pros outweigh the cons in this matter.

Currently I have docker images of 400-800mb because of the current design. Evans has done some improvement to that but more optimizations are always welcome.

Another thing is that working locally and constantly needing to build for running tests / local runs is really a pain (since it takes 20-30seconds to build the program)

yes, please!

doing manual change is nothing compared to seriously considering going back to TS runtime. very excited and looking forward to the release

Thanks for the feedback on this.  The final proposed changes for binary size reduction and `Apply` simplification as part of the upcoming Pulumi 3.0 are now at <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/6607>.
