Well, I am working with a couple startups in the mobile space. You see that people uninstall larger apps.
It is not an opinion it is a metric. Also I am speaking about RAM too. Nexus devices are special as they usually manage storage well and have more than other devices. I have a nexus 7 around. Some apps are not able to go to the external SD card and with devices with 4 or 8 GB internal storage it becomes an issue once you factor in pictures, movies etc. Cleanmaster not withstanding. I use it too. But not everyone knows about it. Lower end smartphones aren't as good. I want Pharo to be relevant on my mobe as a dev platform through HTML5. Maybe not today but ultimately. Part of that is reducing the footprint. Java runs on the mobe in a smaller footprint. So can Pharo. A modular Pharo is the key and it is not easy to achieve it seems. PharoME - "Micro Edition" is a powerful value proposition for a lot of use cases. Coupled with things like what Goran does with Nim could open interesting avenues. I agree that machines are getting more powerful and this will not matter in the long run. But for getting in the game now it does. That's the whole point I think.
