I often find myself wondering the opposite...
Why the heck does a simple application that does close to nothing need 50 MB of free space?
Especially phone apps are bad, although I guess it's mostly images that take up the space.
WhatsApp, for example, takes up 58 MB of free space and what does it do, really?
It enables you to create an account, login, make a phone call, set some settings and get your contacts, messages and media.
Most of the work is done on web servers (like retrieving messages) and on your phone (like storing media).
You'd think a few MB or even KB should suffice...

You know Adobe Acrobat reader used to go above 150MB, even in the good old days.
Nobody knew why a doc-reader should get this big. 
And yes Whatsapp is a big bloat. I would expect that to be around 7MB. May be the extra 50MB is all about the pile of pipes that is used to steal your data and transport to different parts of the universe. Mark Z accepts currencies of any galaxy/universe.

Tomorrow, we start the rewrite of our flagship web app with the MVC5 project template I created.
I must admit to a bit of apprehensiveness, and even trepidation. I'm sure there are some things I didn't cover (yet) in the template, but for the most part, I estimate that I've cut six months off the time it will take to do the rewrite, and most of the work (in the app) will be nothing more than a lift-and-shift evolution. The only real diff in terms of content is that we're changing over from Telerik KendoUI (jquery library, circa 2012) code to the MVC version of that jquery library (2019R2). The only javascript we'll have to write is the client-side interaction stuff, and even that will be mostly lift/shift.
So, it's time to shutup and nut-up.

Good luck, glad I'm in a position that does not require writing Javascript

Good one.
I just posted about the passing of this bill in the GIT forum. While I'm ashamed it took us this long, I am also quite delighted in that this happened in spite of certain political parties backing up this garbage ideology to purely appease certain groups for votes.
That's as much as I could say without having this whole thing moved out to the soapbox. But happy, I am.

You see many Women are against this new legislation. I think they want to get rid of the hubby-stuff pretty quick as well. They seem to be okay with the "Shariya"'s law. It's a mutual benefit.
Not sure why the govt wants to spoil their game.

i never have.
give me templates.
or you may as well just give me something procedural.
if i can't do generic programming i'm a sad honey bear.
C# is barely adequate. And it's too object centric IMO.
generics need to be able to do more. I want traits. I want the runtimes to do what i can make a C++ compiler do with templates.
I probably just got the BAC up of this entire board saying that, but there it is.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Neither taste good, and C# doesn't have any of them.

It's not really our fault that you picked the wrong tool for the job at hand...
If you wanna go native, do it. You can still write un-managed DLLs that can be used in .Net apps.
I don't understand what the fuss is about.

i like managed code. i just wish generics did more than they currently do. At least they added covariance with .NET 4 but it has a long way to go.

honey the monster, codewitch wrote: i just wish generics did more than they currently do
Um, Generics can do a lot in C# currently. How exactly are generics NOT working for you in C#?

one example I'm running into right now is template specialization.
I have a finite state machine engine and it works for any transition input type and any accept symbol type.
However, there are additional features that can happen - significant ones that can only exist when the transition type is char - this specialization is effectively a regular expression engine, which means it can parse from a regular expression, and provide regex matching over string inputs. The other kind of FAs it wouldn't even make sense for that.
So because of this I have two separate classes - one generic FA<tinput> class, and one called CharFA where the TInput=char basically.
It means more code to maintain because a lot of it is duplicated. To unduplicate a lot of which i could, I'd have to add another codefile with an interface, and another with static methods to share common functionality, which again, increases the code size.
So it's not even that I can't do it with C#, it's that what is elegantly handled in C++ is clunky in C# to do the same thing, and requires more code.

Create an interface class called IFa (name it something esle for sure, but this is for ilustration purposes) and implement IFa in a new class CharFA using that interface. or Create an iterface called IFa and a default implementation for IFa and then create another class that implements the default implementation and then just override any methods, etc.
It is object oriented programming, which you hate, but that is how this stuff is usually done, more or less, in C#.
Would that work for you?
Just a suggestion, I am not really trying to solve any problems here. I think your dislike of C# and generics, and object oriented programming may prevent you from seeing how things are done in this language, etc.
Good luck.
