I have unofficially unveiled yavascript.org, by that I mean it’s on-line but this is the first public mention of it. It is fairly basic at the moment but has all the important information relating to the first version of my yavascript compiler and development system. So yeah, head on over and check it out, download and try out the tool and, if you’re so inclined, read my report on its development:

Sprockets is a tool from the makers of the “Prototype” Javascript library designed to ease the integration of multiple files via an inclusion system. yavascript is that and so much more, integrating syntax-aware minification and conditional compilation. While writing up my report on yavascript as part os my third year project I had to justify why I chose not to use Sprocket’s way of doing things. The simple answer is I didn’t want to, I like C and wanted to do it C’s way, but I figured that wouldn’t cut it in a technical report, so this led to a serious critical analysis of both systems.
