Yes, this is super neat, because we can now commit embedded asset files directly, and they will get embedded at go build
time instead of committing a large go module that contains embedded assets. In Simple IoT, we have refrained from committing the frontend assets (we’re still using Genesis), as it results in a 3.5MB Go module that bloats the repo, skews code metrics, etc. However, the JS module (compiled Elm) is only 161KB, so that seems a lot more reasonable. And we may be able to compress that more – if we xz the elm.js, it goes down to 43KB, and it would probably cost very little time to uncompress that in the HTTP api handler. Compiled Elm sizes are amazing.
