The Closure ecosystem definitely evolved a bit differently from the rest of the JS world, but it pioneered some techniques 10 years ago that the rest of the community is only now rediscovering, like isomorphic rendering and type checking. Soon we'll probably see something that minimizes CSS (I'm joking - I'm sure there's a webpack plugin, but I'd be surprised if it were as high quality). It's an interesting case study in why developer UX is so important - Closure never really "fit in" with other tools, which I think really hurt its adoption.
