For example, while this ~50 line application is 144k, a much larger ~2000 line application is only 288k. @li This size is pre-@a("gzip", href:="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip"), and most webservers serve their contents compressed via gzip to reduce the download size.

Scala.js arguably provides more than either of these libraries. @p - And there is ongoing work to shrink the size of these executables.
