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

[Alan & Kim Zimmerman]

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
