Lazy-loading modules? about modules-webmake HOT 1 CLOSED

@kokujin Currently Webmake doesn't provide Lazy-loading, but I think it's unlikely you really need that. It makes a difference only in really large codebases, where you want to optionally download 50-100kB, and that's already a lot. Usually quite complex app in total, when minified and gzipped doesn't have much more than 100kB.

See e.g. website I worked on lately http://elomas.gob.ar/ it's complex registration website. It's bundle of over 700 modules (!), in minified form it's 1MB file, but when gzipped it goes down to 200kB, and it initializes and loads pretty fast. Additionally due to good caching setup, every further load is near instant as application file is already cached.
So lack of lazy loading is not that big issue, and I wouldn't address it, unless it's really a visible problem. See also benchmark comparing speed of AMD style loading with generation of the CJS bundle on the fly: https://github.com/medikoo/cjs-vs-amd-benchmark#results

Still, I consider this a valid issue, and one of the most important thing that's missing in Webmake, there's already open issue for that: #7 so I'm closing it as a duplicate.
