What Hacker News says?
Yes, it's called "tree shaking"[1], modern Angular apps can be cut down to a around 50-100k (assuming nothing heavy feature set). Find build tools that can do it, like Webpack or Rollup. [1] http://blog.mgechev.com/2016/06/26/tree-shaking-angular2-pro...

HN discussionThis still doesn't really answer why one would use webrtc for multi-user video conferencing - without working multicast (which I still think is a given between most pairs of randomly choosen dsl subscribers, not sure if it would be an option for webrtc anyway) - you'd need to transfer N-1 bitrate up from each N participant in the multi-user conference. Not sure that's workable for ten 720p streams of reasonable qual…

HN discussionIf we're being pedantic, then it is a compiler. It's a compiler that targets another high-level language instead of a lowered representation.
