[–] nkuttler 12y ago ↗ This... seems to compress JS by packing it into unicode strings. Seems like a clever idea, but it feels very wrong to me even if I can't explain why. [–] xem 12y ago ↗ In fact, it converts ascii characters into "extended ascii" characters. So the bytes count is correct.If you're interested in pack-to-unicode, I did it too: https://gist.github.com/xem/7086007
