Before nginx was a thing, I worked with a guy who forked apache httpd and wrote this blog in C, like, literally embedded html and css inside the server, so when he made a tpyo or was adding another post he had to recompile the source code. The performance was out of this world.
Nothing good old cache can't solve. Compile JS and CSS. Bundle CSS with main HTML file and send it in batches since HTTP2 supports chunkifying your output. HTTP prefers one big stream over multiple smaller anyway. So that guy was only inviting trouble for himself.
You're telling me about compiling JS, to my story that is so old... I had to check. and yes, JS existed back then. HTTP2? Wasn't even planned. This was still when IRC communities weren't sure if LAMP is Perl or PHP because both were equally popular ;)
Am just saying including source code into Apache is an overkill. But I guess if Apache was so old that doing so wasn't much of a chore, sure thing. Still think apache module would have been simpler.
