#2Glimmer is smaller and faster than React, with TypeScript supported natively. This is a game-changer for people who are looking for a lightweight rendering library that ships with great tooling support and a larger framework ecosystem behind it.

#3Fast and "light-weight" Ember UI components
Re: Glimmer – Fast and light-weight UI components
#4Tl;dr; Ember is often overkill for a simple app. Glimmer is a lightweight framework, similar to VueJS with tiny build sizes. Being part of the Ember ecosystem, a simple Glimmer app can grow as needed to a full Ember app. "NPM your way to Ember" was the motto they used today at EmberConf. As an Ember AND Vue fanboy, this is cool.

#5Looks like its a smaller deployment (38kb) nearly as small as Preact, much smaller than Ember, and brings TypeScript support and style components to the ember ecosystem.

The install parameter you provide already requires yarn and the rather large ember-cli, in addition to requiring my app to be built on top of glimmer instead of with it.
How can this possibly be considered remotely lightweight, especially compared to something like Mithril? I count at least 12 repos on your github that seem to be integral components including a dedicated CLI!

You shouldn't be deploying a CLI into production. While I haven't looked closely at this particular system, guaranteed you are not deploying the CLI. Just using the CLI to create deployable code.
When people say "lightweight" they mean small sizes over the wire. The final size of the production/deployment code. Not the development code.

Why is the size of the CLI a concern?

Those are only the build tools, and trust me you want a great build pipeline when dealing with Javascript these days!
In the screencast it shows that when you deploy you just get a javascript file for your components that should be super small.
