Closure is a neat little tool, but I wonder what happened recently? The compression size of this compiler was great when it was new, but with the newer released updates my code has become up to 30% bigger, meaning the compiler has become worse. Was looking for a nice alternative here, but there is only listed one on this page. Bugger.

What is Closure Compiler?

The Closure Compiler is a tool for making JavaScript download and run faster. It is a true compiler for JavaScript. Instead of compiling from a source language to machine code, it compiles from JavaScript to better JavaScript. It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls.
