squint 2024-10-24

zod is also a popular option in that space, more typescript oriented but usable from JS too

That look nice

For people who have tried to build something with squint. I'm wondering about the experience.

maybe @martinklepsch would like to chime in?

I'm also curious about the source-map. In my experience with clojurescript(mostly shadow-cljs), source map is important, as it's very difficult to read the compiled javascript.

squint doesn't have source maps. in my experience it's pretty easy to read the compiled code and see where it came from mentally

squint might have source maps in the future though, I have a branch with a partially working version, but it's a lot of work to finish it

So source-map is not necessary for squint in your opinion as the generated javascript is much easier to read?

it would be a nice to have of course

probably at some point in the future

having a browser REPL is more important which is what I'm working on right now

Oh I see. Nice job! I can't wait to use it. I really like the idea for a lightweight clojurescript compiler.
