This is a really interesting project from a browser technology point of view. It makes me wonder how much code you'd need to be deploying to for this to be useful in a production environment. Admittedly I don't make particularly big applications but I've yet to see parsing the JS code as a problem, even when there's 20MB of libraries included.


On a decently fast computer, you're right. On a low-end cell phone, 20MB of libraries will take a noticeable amount of time to parse.


We're working towards experimenting this. For the moment, benchmarks suggest that this will be noticeable after 1 or 2Mb of code.

We'll only know for sure once we can start testing in real conditions, though.


I should have mentioned "1 or 2Mb of code on an average-ish computer".
