So, transpile 8GB of compiler binaries to JavaScript which will inflate it to ~80GB. Now it’s a bandwidth problem.

- amelius 9y agoThat is highly exaggerated. Most Linux distributions don't even have such size. Also, most users don't need support for all languages.
- dave84 9y ago> highly exaggerated The article says 8GB of compiler binaries, asm.js in my experience is 10x the size of the original binary. Obviously not everyone needs to download every compiler but even spreading that number between a few hundered compilers means 200+ mb JavaScript downloads. Am I wrong?
