An experiment to see how much of an ELF binary executable can be stripped down without running into issues such as segmentation faults.

To me, insy sounded like something very small and the term insy reminded me of the classic nursery rhyme, Incy Wincy spider. The project is spelt inC after the C programming language.

I've written a blog post to accompany this experiment which you can find here.

TL;DR we got the binary down to a size of 138 bytes on a x86_64 system.
