Standardizing source maps (bloomberg.github.io)

Very cool to see so much work going on to make the web platform even more awesome - and in the open!

Stuff like this makes me believe open wins over closed in the end :)

This is a great endeavour. Recently I have been thinking about how to add syntax and metaprogramming extensions to programming languages without forking the compiler/interpreter. Source maps are needed there in order to have good editor support through e.g. an LSP server proxy. In researching it I was a bit let down I couldn't find too much research and specifications for the topic.

I wonder if the source map people could learn a thing or two from the debuginfo maintainers and vice versa.

Glad to see this finally getting some much needed love and attention!

Great article, never realized just how adhoc the source map 'standard' was!
