I don't know whalesong.

But if you include a giant runtime, the compilation and evaluation of it on every page load, and downloading it (there's evidence to show many hit CDNs with cold caches, probably screwed up firewalls or proxies that mess with caching) can make for a suboptimal experience that can't be optimized without rewriting in something that doesn't require a bytecode VM embedded in your JS.
