Cool post, i wish I could do something similar at work.
I'm wondering why you went through the pain of making an HTTP server to process JS files, instead of say putting the temporary file over a ramdisk and running the formatters in parallel over multiple files. Plus, even if it's slow, you only have to run it a few times right?
- acemarke 7y agoA RAM disk never even crossed my mind :) I know they exist and have used one in the past, but it didn't occur to me as a possible tool. Also, I was doing this on Windows, and I don't even know if you _can_ set up a RAM disk on Windows. (edit and of course as I say that, someone literally just linked a Windows RAM disk FS driver upthread.) And no, I was re-running this _dozens_ of times to get it right, especially when I was in the "run -> transform fails on broken JS code -> debug -> write regex -> rerun" portion.
