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. Regards Alan

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? /Andrey On 07/06/2015 02:42 PM, Alan & Kim Zimmerman wrote:

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 On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 8:57 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? On 07/06/2015 03:16 PM, Alan & Kim Zimmerman wrote:

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

I;d like to stick my hand up for these. I still have a plans to drastically improve the AST, something like in my new-ast branch: https://github.com/erikd/language-javascript/tree/new-ast Cheers, Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/

Having heard from Andrey Chudnov, who also showed interest, it looks like the new maintainers will be Erik de Castro Lopo and Tony Morris. Andrey has offered to assist if there is even an intent to merge language-javascript with language-ecmascript. Thanks everyone. Regards Alan On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 2:36 PM, Tony Morris wrote:

Thanks Alan for your hard work so far on that package. I'll try and do a new minor release on the weekend that does little more than update the maintainers in the cabal file. I will then work to merge the work I have in a branch to improve the AST.
