You don’t, and never did, need compilers and linkers for JavaScript. There’s even “script” right in the name.

Sure, you can run optimized JavaScript in your browser. At least you can smugly tell your users about your elitist belief when they mention that your scripts don't run on safari, because you've mistakenly used an API that was only available in Chrome and you didn't ship a polyfill, or if your code is larger than it has to be because it's not minified.

Sure, you strictly do not need many things that make your site smaller and load faster.
