The blog post for Elm 0.17 mentions: "Generated JS is smaller and works with Google's Closure Compiler"

Do you have any experience/numbers on this? Do you know if Google's Closure Compiler is superior for making Elm's JS small (compared to UglifyJS, for example)?

Yeah, I don't have any personal experience comparing them. Sorry!

At NRI, this isn't really a concern or issue. We don't use Closure compiler, and we currently don't need to. There's a bunch of posts on the mailing list about this though -> groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin... and groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin...
