I clearly is. Note the absurd metric (lines and spaces) to justify how the blown-up version is considered to be smaller. Also note that the article consequently talks about "Node code" even though they are talking about client-side JavaScript. From the article: #gulp { color : #0000ff; padding : 10px; } This CSS takes up 4 lines, and at least 13 spaces. [...] document.getElementById(‘gulp’).style.color=‘#00f’; document.getElementById(‘gulp’).style.padding=‘10px’; This Node code takes up only 2 lines and there are 0 spaces. Essentially, we are saving lines, spaces, and files (delete your .css documents!).
