ObjJAcornCompiler

A tiny, fast JavaScript and/or [Objective-J][objj] transpiler with built in preprocessor. Written in JavaScript.

[objj]: https://www.cappuccino.dev/learn/objective-j.html

It uses a parser extended from the [Acorn][objj-transpiler] JavaScript parser by Marijn Haverbeke.

Preprocessor

The parser has a built in C like preprocessor.

Example:
``c++
#define MAX(x, y) (x > y ? x : y)
var m1 = MAX(a, b);
var m2 = MAX(14, 20);
`
Will be compiled to:
`c++
var m1 = a > b ? a : b;
var m2 = 14 > 20 ? 14 : 20;
`

Usage


`
--module Set the source type to module instead of script in
the parser.

--ecma5, --ecma8, --latest Sets the set version of ECMAScript used be the parser.

--loose Sets the parser to use loose mode.

--preserve-paren Tells the parser to preserve parentheses, even if
unnecessary.

Limitations

It can't compile Objective-J code that depends on other Objective-J files. The Objective-J load and
runtime is needed for this. But it will work as long as you declare any superclass in the same file.
