Putting the JS AST specification on your radar

[Yoric]

I'm currently working on the JavaScript Binary AST TC39 proposal. Part of this proposal is an official AST for JavaScript. While this AST is not final yet, it is stabilizing, so I figured it might be of interest to you: WIP specs.

Extracting a Rust ADT from the WIP specs is pretty easy. If you need, I have code that does it already, and I figure I'll publish it as a separate crate soon.

Hey! That looks super interesting! We already have a way to serialize the AST produced by ratel to ESTree compatible JSON, a binary format would be even better for any cross-platform interaction.

There will be a crate for that, too :)

How robust is your parser at the moment? Would it be useful to try and use it as a built-in parser for the binjs-ref implementation?
