This still doesn't really answer why one would use webrtc for multi-user video conferencing - without working multicast (which I still think is a given between most pairs of randomly choosen dsl subscribers, not sure if it would be an option for webrtc anyway) - you'd need to transfer N-1 bitrate up from each N participant in the multi-user conference. Not sure that's workable for ten 720p streams of reasonable quality - let alone for more participants? Clearly there are trade-offs - but do they make as much sense for multi-user conferencing? The teamspeak model of muxing streams on the server seem to make more sense? Edit: I see this is actually addressed in the linked article[1] - basically a webrtc gateway can be used. No mention of any support for (cryptographic) authentication and of peers and encryption of streams as far as I csn tell, though. Which makes it a bit worse than chatting over ham radio... Edit2: Apparently webrtc is "secure" by default [2] - that is the streams are encrypted with a session key - but there's no (working) way to authenticate - or prevent/detect mitm. Obviously a gateway would need access to the (plain) streams for muxing (barring some creative N-way p2p key setup and just blasting encrypted data (eg by not supporting more than one peer to transmit - but with typical latencies this would probably dictate some form of manual "passing-the-mic" moderation).

If we're being pedantic, then it is a compiler. It's a compiler that targets another high-level language instead of a lowered representation. Transpiler is (in my opinion) a meaningless specialization of the word compiler. The corresponding blog post (http://blog.mgechev.com/2017/09/16/developing-simple-interpreter-trans… does seem to be educational.

Yes, it's called "tree shaking"[1], modern Angular apps can be cut down to a around 50-100k (assuming nothing heavy feature set). Find build tools that can do it, like Webpack or Rollup. [1] http://blog.mgechev.com/2016/06/26/tree-shaking-angular2-production-bu…
