How is it better than babel? Why is it innovative?
- DiThi 9y agoMaybe because it combines the functionality of Babel and UglifyJS (and maybe others) while being faster than all. (I don't really know, I haven't tried it)
- FailorTwist 9y ago> How is it better than babel? Why is it innovative? Just for the record, this submission's original title was "A very fast Ecmascript Transpiler+Bundler+Minifier in less than 80kb minified, gzipped"; There was indeed another submission with the current title, but I actually deleted it, thinking it was somewhat pretentious. I'm not sure how the title got reverted during migrating the submission to show HN. I made no such claims as jazzle being better than babel; I'm not even sure such comparison would be logically true. All I said was that it has performed better than babel on my local benchmarks. As for innovativeness, what I can tell off the top of my head is its advanced tdz tracker, along with its non-invasive transformation strategy for closures containing loop lexicals. Thanks a lot reading this far, and I can't wait for your feedback!
