Clojurians Log v2

One thing I was thinking about (maybe for cljs-josh) was a vite-like thing that takes your Scittle's index.html and converts/compiles it with Squint into a smaller distributable. I am sure it would be full of gnarly edge cases but maybe fine for small things. That way you can use the Scittle fast dev process and make it small at the end.

This is where the "import strings from global" thing in Scittle could come in handy. You would use global script tags during development and then when it compiles it pulls the same thing in from node_modules.

No code changes required.

I think this would be better done with the squint compiler packaged as a scittle thing

since there will be incompatibilities

Yeah that makes sense

squintle squint

e.g. on the squint playground I could make a "eject page" thing or so. you could even just copy/paste the squint compiled code

but then there will still be imports of esm.sh libraries

that could be optimized further

maybe "eject vite project" or so would be convenient too. I don't know

it depends on what you're optimizing for

I didn’t mean to start something 🤭

The squint playground is an example of what squintle could be: https://squint-cljs.github.io/squint/ It's only a couple of lines of code to evaluate code from script tags. However, including the squint compiler isn't small probably

well maybe it's not too bad though, the playground includes codemirror which is huge

but it certainly won't be as small as it can be if you include the squint compiler. you could make a squint scittle that eventually generates the optimized page without compiler probably

Ok thanks for clarifying and glad I didn’t miss the memo lol
