-### Descriptors vs. static modules

-While .proto and JSON files require the full library (about 20kb gzipped), pretty much all code but the relatively short descriptors is shared.
-
-Static code, on the other hand, requires just the runtime library (about 5kb gzipped), but generates relatively large code bases without any reflection features.

-When `new Function` is supported (and it usually is), there is no difference performance-wise as the code generated statically is the same generated at runtime.

### Generating TypeScript definitions from static modules
Likewise, the `pbts` command line utility can be used to generate TypeScript definitions from `pbjs`-generated static modules.
