You don't want to build your own minifier

Hi there!
I think your js minifier would be easy and better to process if you build and AST and then see what kind of transformations you can do (for example, changing some variable –encapsulated on the script scope– identifiers) or just print the output to a without white spaces.
But, as you said and I agree, there are really good minifiers out there.
Another thing to keep in mind is to have a task runner for script pre-processing, like gulp or grunt.
Cheers!
