Can we customise the compilers? Closure (java + webservice), and yui?

[balupton]

Is it possible to set the Javascript compiler to run the java executables for closure and yui? Or use the closure web service (if java isn't available)?

Another nice feature request and not one I haven't heard before. It's not something you can do currently, but it's pretty silly that you can't.

Sorry folks. Any help in making this happen is much appreciated. I've been doing a lot of ruby and node.js backend networky stuff lately and really haven't a ton of time or reason for using smurf in the past 8 months or so.

Smurf still gets a fair amount of interest which leads me to believe there is still a real need for simple implementation/integration of what should be common web infrastructure support; so, help of all kinds is wanted. pull-requests greatly welcomed.

That sounds good, right now I'm trying to decide between Jammit and Smurf - Jammit is nice, but I don't like how it only supports packages - a yaml file seems a silly place to manage your page's resources :/

Ultimately, I'm after a solution that you can pick your compiler (or write it as a plugin), handle script elements (as well as sources), and css too. Using less seems like a good option for CSS compilation, as we can pass the Less automatically compiled files to the bundler so no worries there - where in PHP we would have the bundler also do the compilation of CSS (as we don't have tools like Less).
