Hey everyone, new to the forum here. I wanted to share an internal talk I did in my company about using Google Closure Compiler (GCC) in AEM. Hope you enjoy!!! Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
Thank you for posting this great community content! We will mark as Featured Content!
This is an excellent community content!! Thanks for sharing it!!
So the presentation describes that the min:gcc is built into AEM 6.2. When I fired up my 6.3 environment and looked at Library Manager it still is using min:yui. Is this an oversight or a preferred default for migrated systems?

Bob, that's correct. Someone at Adobe can correct me if I'm wrong, but I imagine it is a preferred default because they didn't want to surprise anyone. If you are migrating, you probably want to leave it alone, unless you want to enable your FE devs to write newer JavaScript.

That's a very helpful talk on GCC thanks for that, Is it still the case though with GCC? does it still not support CSS minification/compression?
Default YUI compression for CSS is causing a strange issue in our project whenever a build deployed pages don't respond at all for quite a while, when I looked at the error log and in the thread dump it showed an error at line where we included a headlib script with our CSS client lib in it. HtmlLibraryManagerImpl is quite a bit of time to build the CSS lib with YUI when switched to GCC it's almost instant please look at the log below. so I just tried setting the compressor to GCC for CSS and it worked I no longer see the issue and pages load immediately after the deployment. Can someone from Adobe confirm if GCC is wokring here even for CSS? or it's just skipping YUI? If it's skipping what's really minifying it? because I see the info log sayting minified even when used GCC.
With YUI:

Hi,
Tried following the steps mentioned in the youtube link .. still our clientlib is not getting minified.
Please note : we are using const & let keywords in our customized code due to this yui compressor is unable to minify js files:
