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

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 :)

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

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.

They told us that the great benefit of scripting languages was that it was just text, no wait for any compilers or linkers, that it was so much easier to debug and so portable.
They promised us we would be forever happy once we abandoned our antiquated love for compiled and strongly typed languages.
