2.5X Smaller Angular 2 Applications with Google Closure Compiler

Read Original

This technical article details an experiment to make Angular 2 applications 2.5x smaller by using the Google Closure Compiler for advanced tree-shaking, minification, and bundling. It explains the process, including obstacles like incomplete ES2015 module support and the use of tools like tsickle, and shares the impressive results from the Angular core team's research. A disclaimer notes this uses experimental tools not yet ready for production.
