My position is that the produced code size is just fine. Sometimes you can optimize it by using JS's native dict datatype as opposed to Nim's which produces generic specializations. Maybe Nim tends to produce a 70KB file whereas Fad-of-the-month only produces 22KB. You know who actually notices this difference in reality? Absolutely nobody. > Is it because the browser will cache the js, so you don't see the size as a > practical issue for a web application/SPA? Something else? The caching helps but it does not matter: <https://www.keycdn.com/support/the-growth-of-web-page-size#web-page-sizes-are-quickly-increasing>
