I wonder how much bandwidth is wasted on the extra =, since it survives minification 😅

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

But if every single comparison used in a file is a triple =, then any compression algo worth its weight in salt will compress that bloat away during transmission

The real issue is all the precious precious RAM those extra = use on the client device once received and unpacked!

Gzip (any properly configured static server will serve compressed assets) probably compresses them down so probably a single extra byte per file
