jsm-compiler

0.3.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

A JavaScript module compiler that enables namespaces and templates for creating basic JavaScript applications. Version 0.3.1 is the last release, with no updates since 2016. It compiles files with custom syntax (namespaces, templates, classes) into plain JavaScript. Key differentiators include automatic namespace generation and template embedding. However, the project is effectively abandoned with no maintenance, making it unsuitable for production use.
