Yes and no: Closure has "static typing" via JSDoc annotations, and uses the
same kind of monolithic compilation (i.e. I know everything about what will
run, so I know what is never used that I can remove).
So I wonder what kind of optimizations closure is doing that were not

One small optimization I've read on the Closure Compiler group that I know
GWT doesn't do: ["ab", "cd", "ef", "ghij"] is compiled into
"ab,cd,ef,ghij".split(",") !
(it's more in terms of perfs than in code size I guess though).
I don't know about the other differences.
