Tree shaking: History, Relation to ECMAScript 6 modules & Comparison to DCE techniques in compiled languages

In computing, tree shaking is a dead code elimination technique that is applied when bundling code with its dependencies. It is most commonly applied to dynamic languages, in practice most commonly JavaScript/ECMAScript. Often contrasted with traditional single-library dead code elimination techniques common to minifiers, tree shaking eliminates unused…
