Compilation flag/option to use "Compression Streams API" to minimize JS/WASM blobs sizes.

[Maksons]

Hello to all,

My compiled project become big ~10Mb single file and I noticed that there exist Compression Streams API out of box in browser, so why not to use it for blobs ?
What do you think about such idea ?

Is there some reason you need to use -sSINGLE_FILE. I would recommend serving the wasm file standalone if you can since that is normally most compact and platform-friendly way to ship.

In terms of compression I believe folks have looked into options in the past but maybe not the Compression Streams API. Sounds like a reasonable suggestion.
