Voxera108837yGoogle uses a special compiler to minimize all code and it also rewrites it to remove unnecessary code.
It was one of the first really good ones.
But for best result you had to arrange your code in a special way to indicate intent so the compiler knew how much it could mangle it ;) -
@Voxera After looking at and thinking about it, I thought that that might be the case (one of the reasons for that was the lack of an overabundance of spaces), but I wasn't sure, and I was too lazy to do any research. You taught me something new!

This never gets old...
Exactly
