refactor: remove global allocator from non-user facing apps (#2401)
The runtime performance gains does not out weight the compilation speed from
building the custom allocators, which takes about a minute to build on
slower machines.

Minifier

A JavaScript minifier has three components:

  1. printer
  2. mangler
  3. compressor

Mangler

The mangler implementation is part of the SymbolTable residing in oxc_semantic. It is responsible for shortening variables. Its algorithm should be gzip friendly.

The printer is also responsible for printing out the shortened variable names.

Compressor

The compressor is responsible for rewriting statements and expressions for minimal text output. Terser is a good place to start for learning the fundamentals.
