Closure Compiler is a JavaScript optimizing compiler. It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls. It is used in many of Google's JavaScript apps, including Gmail, Google Web Search, Google Maps, and Google Docs.

/**
 * Removes dead code from a parse tree. The kinds of dead code that this pass
 * removes are:
 *  - Any code following a return statement, such as the alert
 *    call in: if (x) { return; alert('unreachable'); }.
 *  - Statements that have no side effects, such as:
 *    a.b.MyClass.prototype.propertyName; or true;.
 *    That first kind of statement sometimes appears intentionally, so that
 *    prototype properties can be annotated using JSDoc without actually
 *    being initialized.
