Re: [Haskell-cafe] Request for maintainer(s) : language-javascript / hjsmin

No, but I had to do some tap dancing, if I recall. On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 9:27 PM, Andrey Chudnov wrote:

Thank you, Alan, I'll have a look at the tests in hjsmin. AFAIK, you are using alex and happy for the parser. Does that cause any issues with Automatic Semicolon Insertion?

Hi Andrey

1. I did update it when ECMASCRIPT 5.1 when it came out for version 0.4.6 of language-javascript (according to the ChangeLog). The test suite is very comprehensive.

2. I am not familiar with language-ecmascript. The main feature of language-javascript is that it is written using lex/alex, so is pretty fast. That said, the AST itself could be improved, I was learning when I did it.

3. I think a merge could definitely make sense. I know hjsmin is very intimately tied to language-javascript, so a port might be quite tricky. There are also lots of tests on hjsmin.

I would obviously be prepared to guide anyone taking over this role, and to answer questions about the code.

Alan, I'm not volunteering (yet), but I have a few questions: 1) Could you sum up the status of the package? Is there complete ECMAScript 5.1 support? How comprehensive is the test suite? 2) Are you familiar with language-ecmascript (particularly, with the es5 branch https://github.com/jswebtools/language-ecmascript/tree/es5)? If so, what do you think are the main strengths of language-javascript compared to that package? 3) Do you think it would make sense to merge language-javascript and language-ecmascript and port hjsmin to that?

Hi all

I am the author of language-javascript and its companion hjsmin. Unfortunately I do not use the libraries myself, and I am falling behind in maintaining them, all the more so with the new ECMASCRIPT spec out.

So I am calling for volunteers to take over maintenance of these two packages.
