Description

I have noticed that monaco editor dynamically loads lots of files. some of these files are quite large (e.g. the uncompressed size of typescriptServices.js is 7.4 mb)

would you consider minifying all the files in monaco directory?

I have tried that with uglifyjs-folder using the command

uglifyjs-folder src/monaco -e -x .js -o src/monaco

caution: this does in-place minification of all the js files in the folder.

The resulting size was less than third and it kept working with no modification of code

would you consider something like that?

Research direction

Review the JavaScript files under src/monaco, including typescriptServices.js, and check how the dynamically loaded files are currently served. Try the proposed uglifyjs-folder command, then verify that the editor still works and that the generated files are substantially smaller.
