jQuery compiled with Google Closure Compiler

Question

Has anyone compiled jQuery against Google\'s newly-released Closure compiler?

There has been reported huge savings in code size. I\'m curious what the benefit is if

Answer 1

As of jQuery 1.4, Google's Closure Compiler is used as the default minification technique for jQuery releases. However, jQuery only uses the SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS settings. The jQuery team has no plans to support ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS.
