Question; So the code style, you said we might use the FlexJS emitter but I don't see how that is possible since it's not a vanilla emitter. It seems to me I need to know the exact code style that a vanilla transpiler will create and I can make that emitter as another backend, what do you think? @Josj you have any thoughts? I am ready to start writing it. :) Mike > > -Alex > > >
