Hello Marijn,
We’re bundling up the parser to run it in functions with size limitations. With minify and tree shaking, we were able to compress the entire bundle to ~170KB.
Is there any other way to reduce the size beyond this? Thank you.
Not that I’m aware of, no. But that is big—even the most horrible grammars (C++, PHP) that I’ve written come out at around 90k. Sometimes small changes to the grammar reduce the state count (and thus disk size) a lot, but unfortunately this is also still black magic to me (the LR algorithm isn’t the most intuitive thing) so I can’t really give you pointers on what might help.

Ah okay. Thanks for your response! The language is a dialect of sql, so is syntax heavy, the grammar crosses 2K lines, along with a lot of keywords.
