Compile-time Optimizations in JavaScript Applications

Evan You at ReactiveConf 2017

With the rise of modern JavaScript build toolchains such as Babel, webpack and PostCSS, compilation has become an indispensable step in building JavaScript applications. This compilation step, in addition to providing access to new language features, also provides the opportunity for performance optimizations. Minification is one such example, but there are many more possibilities. This talk will explore some existing ideas in the category of build-time optimizations, introduce related work in the Vue ecosystem, and discuss some ideas for future experimentation.
