Transform flyfile AST

[hzlmn]

Seems like right now, fly-esnext just replace some syntax constructions using regular expressions. It would be nice if it use babylon or uglify etc. to transfrom file AST, it will be more correct behavior for syntax transformations.

Yeah, correct. It's just regex replacements cuz they're the fastest and I only intended to support a few things. What are you missing?

[hzlmn]

@lukeed I am not missing something, it just could be confusion cuz if you write your export like

export      function test() {}

it won't be transformed 😄 . Also as i know global regexps not cheap and you scan source at least 4 times, so maybe it will be more efficient to transform it from AST. Also adding import transform will be easier.

[lukeed]

Lol, right. I assume normal whitespace variants ;-)

What do you mean about scanning source 4 times? I only scan once, during Fly boot up. It's actually MUCH faster than a babylon-parser (or any AST I tried).
