Just as a quick reminder, as I'm not sure everybody is aware of this:
Until not so long ago the qooxdoo repo had a fair amount of code to utilize
Grunt as the new build tool, aiming to replace the Generator. This support
has then be cut back to the utmost minimum somewhen last year, but the full
code is still available in the 'next' repo,
https://github.com/qooxdoo/next/tree/master/tool/grunt
It already implemented the core Generator jobs in JS, making use of the
Node ecosystem of libraries. IIRC this included 'source' and 'build' jobs,
together with dependency analysis, resource handling and loader generation.
Jobs not already implemented in JS are transparently passed through to the
old Generator, allowing for a stepwise replacement of the Python
implementation while still providing the full functionality all the time.
I could see Grunt being a command-line frontend for the jobs, with
QxCompiler remaining a pure API-based library which is included as a
dependency and utilized from Grunt files.
Even if you feel the code in qooxdoo.next is too 'Grunt-heavy', or would
just like to hack on an all-new, own version of Grunt support (which I can
always understand ;-)), the code in qooxdoo.next might be a good
inspiration to draw from.
