How about adding standard decompressers to the Dwitter JS environment so they can be executed with less code?

  Do you mean to add the decompressor wrapper automatically so that more UTF-16 packed code can fit? That would effectively increase the limit to 280 usable ASCII chars, i.e a double dweet. This has been discussed before but I don't think the authors will implement it. There are a few other JS golfing sites that have multiple size brackets and I believe they are less active as a result. Although dwitter is not exactly popular I think this clear limitation is what keeps it focused and the community actively engaged. The 194B hack is a slight weakening of that, but it's often reflected by votes as people are less impressed when you've resorted to using that trick unless it was really worth it... it also feels like a fair compromise because you cannot for instance use emojis inside that compression method so it's not entirely free.
