Oh, Closure Compiler is such a throwback. I still remember staring at the project page on Google Code. Isn't it like two decades old or even older by this point? Is it still alive?
- mdhb 2y agoThe compiler itself lives on but it works with TypeScript now rather than the JSDoc comments style approach which is officially EOL AFAIK.
- flohofwoe 2y agoClosure is still used in Emscripten to optimize the generated Javascript shim file.
- rty32 2y agoThis can give you some hints of the current status of closure compiler: https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/issues/2731 https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/issues/2731 I happen to know this because we have some old projects that depend on this and are working hard to get rid of the dependency. I wish Google either updates it or just mark the whole thing deprecated -- the world has already moved on anyway. Relating this to Google's recent cost cutting, and seeing some other Google's open source projects more or less getting abandoned, I have to say that today's Google is definitely not the same company from two decades ago.
