> What's also possible is to handle keywords at tokenizer level Sadly, the tokenizer is unaware of keywords (maybe except async and await because their history as soft keywords) as that distinction usually is up to the parser as the parser is the one who knows about the grammar. Introducing keywords in the tokenizer would couple them too much IMHO apart from other possible problems.

Sadly, the tokenizer is unaware of keywords (maybe except async and await because their history as soft keywords) as that distinction usually is up to the parser as the parser is the one who knows about the grammar.
