Other JS Minimizers/SCSS #35

Closed dhensche closed 12 years ago

dhensche commented 12 years ago

The Google closure compiler is available and based on several tests performs better than the YUI compressor. I have used the closure compiler in java projects before and it seemed easy enough to use so I am curious if in the future there may be a way to choose which minifier to use. I know that if you use the advanced options with the closure compiler you will need to make sure you have merged all the files beforehand to make sure variable names match up.

Also, I was just curious if you planned on supporting SASS/SCSS compilation, seeing as you support LESS.

These are not really issues, but more questions about future plans to see what you will be supporting.

Thanks!

Yes, there is plan to support better compressor for JavaScript. But YUI will still be there anyway because I can't find any alternatives that can compress css file.

support for SASS is not considered at the moment. At least supporting to coffeescript has higher priority that that.

I guess that is true about about the CSS compression, that is what we use as well. Thanks for the quick response
