uglify-js only supports ES5. So uglify-js can only minify a subset of what terser can minify. uglify-es was started to support ES6 and beyond but it is now unmaintained (lots of unfixed bugs) and led to terser as a fork. Since node and many recent browsers natively support ES6, more and more projects are shipping native ES6. Uglify-js cannot be used for these. d3 switched to terser for example (one of the packages I maintain). Try minifying node-d3-zoom for example (change uglifyjs.terser to just uglifyjs in rules). It reminds me the story of Newton and cat doors[1]. [1] https://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/famous-inventors/5-isaac-newton-inventions2.htm -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
