The saga of the Closure compiler, and why TypeScript won
> Unless you've worked on frontend at Google at some point in the past 20 years, it's unlikely that you've ever encountered the Closure CompilerUnless, of course you were at the forefront of frontend stuff like a decade ago and Closure Compiler was the absolute best for a long time at dead-tree elimination and compressing JS artifacts. Or, you're a developer using ClojureScript. Or...> It occupied a similar niche to TypeScript, but TypeScript has absolutely, definitively won.Huh? The Closure Compiler is so much more than just "JavaScript but with types". It also provides minification, provided a namespacing system, additional standard library and such.
