why stop there? just compress the entire dang thing and add decompressor in the execution.

- dualogy 10y ago"We're" (many) already doing that too via gzipped responses (faster to decompress than to compress == neat for web uses). That's my point, a higher language is already "compressing" machine representation (all abstractions kinda do), minification turns its lengthy identifiers into minimal "codes", then the gzip.
- flamedoge 10y agohm.. I assume gzip is doing a lot of entropy reduction already.. curious if minification has reduced or nil effect after gzip.
