Angular.dart's dart2js Size

This tool tracks the size of the Javascript binary, minified and gzipped, produced by dart2js.

The dart file fed into dart2js is here as main.dart.

We compile it using dart2js --minify main.dart -o main.dart.js && gzip -9 main.dart.js

As of Dart 1,0 (r30798), that binary is 182KB minified and gzipped.

For comparison, the AngularJS 1.2.0 binary is 36KB, minified and gzipped.

To run

• checkout Dart's standalone configuration into dart/standalone (TODO: make this a grunt task)
• run grunt build_dart:<rev>
• run grunt build_angular:<rev>
• run grunt dart2js
• check history.json for the size of the output in bytes.

Help out

We want your help, especially if you can make update @MirrorsUsed in main.dart to generate a smaller binary.
