I’m a software dev in Europe for over 20 years, worked in different European countries, had loads of male, female, gay and lesbian colleagues. Zero transes.

How would I know without looking at the app binary?

That’s not due to kotlin.

Every decent piece of software has crap loads of resources: icons, texts, translations, manuals, sounds, fonts, etc. Even hello world app contains at least one resource - “hello world” string and what’s funny is that executable meta data required by operating systems and the string take more space than the actual code to print this string.

Most resources are not consumed by wonky code or dependencies. Most resources are consumed by images and sounds.

Kotlin doesn’t have much impact on binary size.
