Just an idea - It would be nice if DCE could output what gets included in output binary, why and what gets eliminated or inlined. I have hard time understanding why I get such a bit binary output for some small project. Maybe I have some unnecessary code dependency, that's cascading into whole lot of more code.

something to compare to: ProGuard has a -whyareyoukeeping <name> option, which causes it to print out the shortest chain that keeps it

Ah, a tree would be more helpful analysing whether dependency is really unnecessary.

Graph + IDE plugin would be the best ^^

Kotlin/JS output is pretty large, it's not your fault.

For checking your dependencies, you can use ./gradlew dependencies

If you are curious about the side of npm dependencies, you can output stats from webpack during Kotlin/JS build, and view it here: http://chrisbateman.github.io/webpack-visualizer/
