One interesting use-case is having an Atom feed and HTML page at the same time. See source code here: https://curiosity-driven.org/

I'd rather see technical details too plus maybe a comparison between require.js/almond and define.js. Currently it's not clear what are the advantages of define.js.
N.b. another AMD loader (30 lines of JS): https://curiosity-driven.org/amd-loader-with-promises

Wow, great idea. I wish this was available as a npm package.
A couple of things, sometimes the service doesn't work and returns "YUI Compressor : 0bytes (100%)" or "JSMin : 886bytes (0%)". A typo: succees.
The references section could be expanded with resources about writing JS code in a way that enables optimizations:

Kaleidoscope - LLVM Tutorial [0] is an excellent resource with code samples in C++ and OCaml.

Parsing, evaluating, continuations and CPS... it seems similar to this language: https://curiosity-driven.org/continuations#interpreter but the syntax is clearly different. Also, that interpreter is implemented in ~320 lines of JS.

Yes, exactly. And there are a lot of tricky corner cases like SIGHASH_SINGLE when number of inputs != number of outputs with hash 0x01 [0]. Actually the entire implementation (Bitcoin Core) is the specification :) It's interesting from the software design point of view - an extreme case of backwards compatibility. It's hard even within Bitcoin Core as some changes already caused forks [1].
The article is just a demonstration but it won't hurt if it was as accurate as possible (while still being readable) :)

> By that logic you could make anything illegal, legal.
I'm not a lawyer but from a technical point of view it's almost impossible to remove any kind of data from a truly distributed network. Be it Bitcoin's Blockchain, BitTorrent or the internet itself. That's just a fact, no judge order will change it, sorry.
And as M4v3R said it'd be very expensive to add a big file like a picture to Blockchain anyway.

Pi is a number. A picture is also a number (a very long one, just like any other file), including CP.

The same thing that happens to every other data put in transactions - if they're included in blocks every node (full verifying node [0]) downloads it and stores it locally forever.

But for production builds I highly recommend Almond: https://github.com/jrburke/almond
