I am new to Kotlin WASM and tried to follow the tutorial here
https://kotlinlang.org/docs/wasm-get-started.html#generate-artifacts
I noticed the wasmJsBrowserDistribution, the outputs files are quite large. Example, skiko.wasm (8 MB) and composeApp.wasm (5.7 MB). That's quite large file sizes though!
Is it common for wasm to be that file size? It's just a simple tutorial, I can't imagine someone building a figma clone using Kotlin WASM, can be much bigger file size.
Any tips? Thanks.

04/13/2024, 6:33 AMIf you compile compose-web application to JS target, it will still use additional 8MB skiko.wasm for drawing.

04/13/2024, 6:35 AMYou can build web apps with Kotlin/Wasm without compose-web and skiko.
