Open magicznyleszek opened 3 years ago

magicznyleszek commented 3 years ago

Description

We need to take a look at https://decaffeinate-project.org/

Steps:

  1. See conversion guide https://github.com/decaffeinate/decaffeinate/blob/master/docs/conversion-guide.md
  2. Cleanup current coffee code, so it is tidy enough for the decaffeinate
    • we have coffeelint configuration set up now, let's first use it to fix everything :)
    • there is bulk-decaffeinate check that gives a list of errors in files
  3. Make sure there are no open PRs for coffee code.
    • Especially make sure there are no big features that changes significant portions of coffee files, if so these ought to be merged first
  4. Convert code 🥳
  5. Cleanup new JS code (https://github.com/decaffeinate/decaffeinate/blob/master/docs/correctness-issues.md)
  6. Convert tests and make sure they work

@magicznyleszek I was talking with @tinok and there may be some funding to do this work, depending on how long it'll take. What's your guess for that?
