The compression program we use wouldn't have a problem except that it
removes new lines, and not everyone is in the habit of putting semicolons at
the end of a line. However if we told it not to remove newlines, then we
could use it.
I actually found a problem with just removing all one line comments if you
happen to have a URL somewhere in your code, e.g.
http://dynapi.sourceforge.net suddenly becomes http:
The DynAPI fortunately doesn't have anything like the above in it (so far).
The only foolproof solution would be to rewrite a compiler that parses the
code correctly and rewrites it the way we want, without comments, and
without newlines. This is not an easy task...
Any computer science students out there with an LALR grammar for Javascript
and a desire to write a parser?
