1K JavaScript Madness
An anonymous reader writes "JS1k has a simple goal: to get programmers producing demos written in JavaScript that are 1k in size or less. That's just 1024 bytes to play with. There's even additional bonus points on offer if a demo's code can fit inside a single tweet. Now that the contest is finished and there is a top-ten, I'm wondering what they can do if given some extra bytes." I like the Tetris clone. The pulsing wires demo is neat too but kinda stuttery on my machine.

Today, a day that will live in infamy, I was beaten by a 1000 byte program.
Whippersnapper. I seem to recall being beaten more than two decades ago by a 1k chess program on a Timex/Sinclair 1000 (aka ZX81).
Possibly even this one:

You want a static code analysis tool that can perform dead code elimination. It looks like Google's Closure Complier will do that for JavaScript code.
