Babel alternatives #66

Open benmccann opened 8 months ago

benmccann commented 8 months ago

I know this would be a big change, but I thought I should at least mention it and see if it's something you'd be open to. Babel pulls in a ton of dependencies and is not used all that widely in the Svelte ecosystem, so they're new dependencies for most projects using svelte-intl-precompile. I'd be interested to see if we could do without it

I only need to be able to generate an AST, modify it and put it back into JS. Perhaps something lower level like acorn would suffice, i'm not sure.

Yeah, for most Svelte tools we use a combination of acorn, estree-walker, and magic-string. These are already used by the compiler so they add no extra dependencies. estree-walker is being swapped for zimmerframe in Svelte 5, so it might be nicer to use it
