Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for generating a runtime environment that is customized to a particular computer program, particularly in terms of the function definitions that support function calls made in the computer program. The customized runtime environment may therefore be smaller in size than a conventional runtime environment. To create such a customized runtime environment, an analyzer may be provided which monitors test executions of the computer program and/or performs a structural analysis of the source code of the computer program. The analyzer may determine a list of probabilistically or deterministically required function definitions, and provide the list to a component reducer. The component reducer may eliminate any function definitions not deemed to be required from a runtime environment, thereby producing a customized runtime environment that is built to support a particular computer program.
