The closure-compiler is written in java. Here is your problem.
- paulddraper 12y agoIt could be written in NodeJS, Haskell, or BF, but I doubt it would matter. I know a lot of JS developers that use Git, which is written in C.

- StevePerkins 12y agoIf you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by this? If you're doing non-trivial client-side development, then you are probably already managing the details of your building/minification/testing through Grunt or something like it anyway. Does the issue boil down to, "Needing a Node.js installation on my laptop to do client-side development is fine... but having a JVM installed on my laptop sucks because ermahgerd-old-people-enterprise-uncool"?
