Why am I writing a JavaScript toolchain in Zig?

The post discusses the creation of a new JavaScript toolchain called Jam, developed in Zig. The toolchain aims to improve upon existing developer tools by leveraging advanced techniques for static analysis, code optimization, and formatting. The author highlights the limitations of current tools like ESLint, proposing more efficient and effective solutions such as lossless syntax trees and compile-time AST query processing. Contributions to existing tools and the potential for future enhancements, including TypeScript support, are also mentioned.
