optimising capp js

[Demian Turner]

Here's a Google project that looks interesting, could improve the
efficiency of the compiled Capp js:

http://code.google.com/closure/compiler/

From the project homepage:

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.

Well I haven't played around with it, but chances are it won't
understand the Objective-J syntax. Potentially you could run compile
your Objj code to regular JS with Jake and then run that through the
Closure compiler, but we also include a code minifier. Not sure if
Closure Compiler would work on the post-minified result, and if so,
how much of a gain there would be. If you'd be interested in trying it
out though, go ahead! Let us know the results.
