Minification problems

redeclaring a variable existing in an outside scope sure seems fishy.

Yes... The problem I have is esprima seems more or less unmaintained now - and it's hard to find a decent minifier that can be bundled up and run in the browser and node.js.

Someone attempted using rollup at one point. but as I remember it was huge and ended up being a bit of a mess to use.

Does the minifier actually know that Bangle.load can call g.whatever()?

Oh, I misunderstood.

That shouldn't actually be a problem. Or was it generating a new global variable of that name?

If you do:

function boom() {
  g.reset();
}

function hello() {
  var g = "blah";
  boom();
}

or:

function boom() {
  g.reset();
}

{
  let g = "blah";
  boom();
}

Then there should be no problem - the function that uses g will only do it from the global scope, not the local one
