I wrote this article mainly for the people in the demoscene. If anything is unclear or missing for the Hackernews audience, I'm happy to answer questions here.

If anyone wants to try it, I've made a web build: https://ctrl-alt-test.fr/minifier/

I might write a more general article later on writing code minifiers, e.g. how it compares to writing a code formatter, how to implement the transformations, etc.

On the tech side, the code is written in F#. The web build uses Bolero (Blazor for F#). So maybe I'll write later about my experience writing an open source project with F# and evolving it.
