optimisation ideas

[moongazer07]

you should try porting this to one of the Lang's: fortran, go, c, rust, Python, c++

true it could result in more performance (except python lol) but afaik these languages don't have similar libs as I'm currently using (babel, isolated-vm, codemod matcher), and implementing them from scratch would be too much effort to be worth it

swc is probably the closest thing to babel but still too limited:

• "Upward traversal is not supported by swc": https://swc.rs/docs/plugin/ecmascript/cheatsheet#pathfind
• Enable access to scope for every node in the AST swc-project/swc#6576
  webcrack relies heavily on this kind of stuff

For ease of others following along, this thread continues in the following issues:

• true it could result in more performance (except python lol) but afaik these languages don't have similar libs as I'm currently using (babel, isolated-vm, codemod matcher), and implementing them from scratch would be too much effort to be worth it #23
• There are some js to c/wasm transpilers but: #24
