Cheers for mentioning the closure compiler; I'll look into it. I haven't noticed much literature on its use in current build systems; I guess r.js gets all the fame due to its easier api.
Require.js doesn't remove unused code like the closure compiler does.
That feature is critical for building general purpose libraries because it allows you to organize on conceptual boundaries without worrying so much about code size.
