There's even "dead project, alternatives?" Issue in the Github https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor/issues/276 For discussion, today's "best" equivalent would be...esbuild? Speaking of Crockford and minifiers, the delightfully simple site for JSMin (2001) still exists https://www.crockford.com/jsmin.html

Is this still being worked on and updated? Looking at the GitHub repo, it's not: https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor I'm not sure why you'd want to use this over anything else? I used it back in the day when it was more or less the only option, but that's a long time ago.

The repo does not appear to have had substantial changes for ~8-9 years https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor Yahoo announced development was stopped in 2014: https://yahooeng.tumblr.com/post/96098168666/important-annou... Is this still relevant?
