Description
One super-critical part of the dependency download process for dstopic is the ability to batch downloads according to what will probably be required. To this end:
We need a Rust-based parser that can handle:
* Modern JS
* Typescript
* JSX
And return a list of toplevel `import`-ed and `require`-ed paths. dstopic will use this to speed up dependency downloads by batching requests together. Note that the parser doesn't need to *completely* support the above -- just enough to extract imports and requires, and it doesn't need to handle dynamic ones, since this is largely an optimization. In theory, this could even be as simple as a regex, but I'd rather go the parser route if possible.
After doing some research, I found [`RESSA`](https://crates.io/crates/ressa), which looks like it would be up to the task -- most other existing Rust-based parsers seem to be fairly incomplete, or designed specifically for Neon-based usage (like `swc`).
