As I was re-rolling my JS aggregation patch for Drupal, I stumbled upon an interesting solution to an age old problem I’ve encountered numerous times.

When I write various JavaScript files for websites, I often like to serve them out compressed—-not only to save on bandwidth but also to speed up the loading time for users. To accomplish the task of compressing JavaScript files, I usually resort to using tools like Dojo ShrinkSafe and Dean Edward’s packer (the same compression that jQuery uses as well).
