Small is Beautiful
Small JavaScript that is. Or how to go from 350 kB down to just… 25 kB 23 kB.
Smaller JavaScript can help in up to three ways:
- faster download: faster application installation or startup.
- faster parsing for the browser: faster startup.
- smaller identifiers: faster execution for non-JITting JavaScript engines.
And smaller also means you can have far more complex applications for a given size budget.
