[RFC] JSIR: A High-Level IR for JavaScript

jcuenod: I came across this project in the last couple of days too. Being able to decompile from Hermes bytecode sounds awesome.Here's the repo: https://github.com/google/jsir (it seems not everything is public).Here's a presentation about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY1ft5EXI3I (linked in from the repo)

hajile: I want them to finish the official TC39 binary AST proposal. Nearly twice as fast to parse and a bit smaller than minified code makes it a pretty much universally useful proposal.https://github.com/tc39/proposal-binary-ast

croes: IR = Intermediate Representationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_representation

tamimio: Thank you, half way through the article and I am thinking infrared.
