Not FUD - you just clearly don't have a large enough project. I'm dealing with a lot more JS than you. Like.. a LOT more. I wish I had only 100k lines.
As for twice as large - never seen that. Uglify routinely gets to between 10-20% larger than advanced optimized CC in my experience.
I mean if you're writing directly for CC you might get better but that's because a lot of that will directly make it harder for most other minifiers (go figure)
Like I said tho CC is great, I'm glad it exists. It CERTAINLY does more than Uglify... I just don't see any practical benefit.
It's an awesome technological achievement though.
- cromwellian 11y ago100k lines? You think that's a large project? The closure library itself has 500kloc. 10-20% is a huge difference. On an 1M JS app, that would be an extra 100-200k of JS downloaded. That will seriously increase latency, especially for those in developing countries.
- abritinthebay 11y agoNo, I don't. That was my point. I wish I had only 100kloc to deal with. I have 3.6 million to deal with. Different scale entirely.
