Thanks for the info :D

If I may ask, what's the "internal joke" (https://twitter.com/legneato/status/650491741343084545) about?

Also, I take it that the described duplication is due to isolation and compartmentalization (which I can appreciate). I'm curious if some kind of "final dedupe" could be tacked onto the end of the build process that just runs a bunch of fixed algorithms on the assets to find and remove duplicate resources - and maybe even code fragments, like Courgette (https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/softwar...) does.

FWIW, doing something like this would probably take a lot of pressure off the dev teams and make everyone's lives easier. On the current track, the app will be 300MB in a few months. lol
