Large number of dependecies

[zaiste]

I've added pure-engine to one of my projects and the node_modules size increased by 25%. There are several dependencies directly in pure-engine which seem unnecessary e.g. rollup et al.

Would it be possible to reduce that?

It's something that should definitely be looked into, I haven't spent a lot of time trying to narrow it down.

rollup or any other bundler might be necessary for scoped js, which import deps, the compiler has some complexities that are hard to avoid

Some small ideas for improvements:

• add asttv as a AbstractSyntaxTree.serialize method (https://github.com/buxlabs/abstract-syntax-tree)
• remove words-to-numbers dep and related code/specs
• check if babel/core is still required as a dev dep, remove if it's unnecessary
• try to update other deps
• remove marked and related code (that was a bad choice, not using it right now anyway)
• rewrite/include escape-html dep
