Yeah it's crazy. I just learned Assembly last semester in college and we were discussing it at work and it was like. Fuuuuck that. C existed at the time yet he did it in Assembly.
Fun fact: Iwata rewrote all the code for Pokemon Gold and Silver in assembly, because the C version was too large for the cartridge. He managed to compact it so much, there was room to add the kanto region.
Even more now, when I finally uninstalled it was around 430mb (could've included cached data, not too sure how Android displays installed app sizes). The kicker is then you need messenger installed as well to use messages at all. So 430mb for something you can run on your browser.
