vuejs production file size

If you have striped out jQuery, Bootstrap and loads from bootstrap.js, I think that is as small you can probably get given the type of app.

I've stripped everything except for vuejs. However, it's still 70kb.

On vuejs.org it says the following:

Size wise, although Angular 2 with offline compilation and tree-shaking is able to get its size down considerably, a full-featured Vue 2.0 with compiler included (23kb) is still lighter than a tree-shaken bare-bone example of Angular 2 (50kb). 

It can't be 70kb. Where's the other 47kb coming from?

Try opening the file with Chrome Dev Tools and what all is in the file.

Only vuejs. Could it be the gzip filesize? I guess, because here Evan You mentions the filesize without compiler:

The template-to-virtual-DOM compiler and the runtime can be separated, so you can pre-compile templates and ship your app with only the runtime, which is less than 12kb min+gzip (as a reference, React 15 is 44kb min+gzip).

Gzipped I get 30kb. So that's close. I'm just curious how to separate the compiler and what consequences are connect to that.

Thanks for the chrome dev tools idea. It brought me to the gzipped version.
