Can't recover from infinite loops about astexplorer HOT 4 CLOSED

That wouldn't really help since the loop will block the event loop. The setTimeout callback would never run (or am I misunderstanding your suggestion?). The only solution would be to run the transform in a webworker.

Ah.. right. Is there enough support for webworkers across browsers that it would be reasonable to use them?

This is actually pretty annoying, while writing a completely safe for loop it's easy to cause an infinite loop and crash the tab. For example this puts you in an un-recoverable state if there's any valid statement after it.

const maxDepth = 3;
for (let i = 0; i < maxDepth;)

This should be solved now with #39.
