Well, the code generator doesn't yet have an option to keep comments, but I can add it easily; the harder part was having them in the AST, and that's done.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? My understanding is that you compile Lisp to JS (cool!), do you want to be able to do the reverse transform? If so, perhaps a better idea is to generate a source map. (not sure what you need to do though, just guessing) Cheers, -Mihai On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 1:52 PM, Scott Taylor <sc...@railsnewbie.com> wrote: > Wonderful!
