@aluhrs At some point I stopped making the obvious points about JS toolchains and the point of compilers (vs. runtimes), but maybe we need to bring it back:
If your NPM-vended chonker.js library comes with its own microsyntaxes and toolchains, then it's fair to ask *"why is this runtime JS not elided by a compiler pass?"*
This is just as true of React, e.g., as Framer.
