I just updated my mid-size app from v8.2 to v9 with Ivy, and the total es2015 bundle size decreased from 973 KB to 669 KB. An over 31% improvement with no effor

  > 973 KB to 669 KB Is that minified and gzipped?

    Just minified. Gzipped size is now 225 KB.

      Great!

    I would assume angular outputs minified code, but not gzipped. That being said, 973kb seems like large-sized rather than mid-sized to me.

      Sounds like you've never actually worked in a large application to me. Not to gatekeep or anything but large web applications will be in the order of millions if not tens of millions of LOC.

        I'm not sure where LoC came from, since we're talking about minified file size.

  Thats exceptional, I wonder if it was a really clever optimization they found or if it was a really lazy bloat they let into an earlier build. It reminds me of a great hack where game developers used to hide a large memory allocation early in the game development process and when they ran into memory constraints towards launch they'd just comment out the line and instantly save the day. Artificially constraining the memory caused intermediate development to be more frugal and ultimately allowed them to get where they needed to be by the end of it.

    Most improvements come from the more compact JavaScript we generate from a template. We also worked on making the runtime tree-shakable, so in your final bundle you can get only what you use. Additionally, we made sure the code we generate compresses well with popular algorithms.
