Show HN: LilScript makes JavaScript libraries smallerhttps://yeargun.github.io/lilscript/LilScript is a typed, compression-first language that compiles into js and sometimes into exec(will be more stable in future). The compiler mangles, reshapes the program into optimized js that happens to be 5-15% smaller (after gzip/br compression or raw) compared to the best performing JS toolchains like oxc/esbuild/terser/..## What has been proven to work with LilScript?- makes VSCode's core js modules 20% smaller on average- makes the world's most performant & small markdown rendering npm library, marked, 5-7% smaller and 10% faster- and many more demos.. works with pretty much any js/ts library## How it is compressing js finer than vite/oxc/terser/esbuild/..### 1. By changing the app.``` class Vector { float x; float y; init(float x, float y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } float lengthSquared() { return this.x * this.x + this.y * this.y; } }int[] values = [1, 2, 3, 4]; auto doubled = values.map((int value) => value * 2); int sum = 0; for (int i = 0;

Is a Smaller Internet Better?I did a thought experiment. The full experiment is at bottom. Here’s the core:How can you build a website that doesn't host code, just instructions on how to find it.If you're a seasoned dev, the answer is obvious, it's instructions all the way down. That is why we have JS, go, rust.Information transmission is extremely important.Apps on your phone, like Facebook, allow the company to serve the entire website with the UI kit and logic on your phone, and the UGC (text and images) served from FB, drastically cutting down the amount of info they have to send over the server. It's a huge cost cutting manoeuvre for them to serve smaller server responses to billions of daily users who are accessing new content every second.“Serverless” deployment where you host and serve content and instructions, and the app on the users phone is what does all the logic is essentially the idea behind the fediverse.There's often a push from business to make things bigger and cooler, and then when they slow th
