try scala.js / escalima; merge with tinysys2rho

When I switched from .ts to @ts-check (#1), importing @types/estree types broke.

Plus, JavaScript is no match for ocaml when it comes to pattern matching in a compiler.

I don't see esprima nor estree in the redex | Reason Package Index, but the flow-parser is out there; e.g. packaged in npm.

@michaelfig suggested

... a type like {import('estree').SomeType}

I'm not sure I grok, but it's worth a try.

struggling... version skew?

~/projects/js2rho$ npm install bs-flow-parser
~/projects/js2rho$ npm run build
...

 bs-platform version mismatch Running bsb 7.2.2 (/home/connolly/projects/js2rho/node_modules/bs-platform) vs vendored 4.0.18 (/home/connolly/projects/js2rho/node_modules/@elliottcable/bs-gen/node_modules/bs-platform)

A scala implementation would be more helpful for adding js support to rnode. I did start on https://github.com/dckc/tinyses2rho in scala... but tinyses doesn't include await. Where are they on that issue? ... it's not among https://github.com/Agoric/Jessie/issues (tinyses got renamed to Jessie). I think they're pretty firmly against await; it doesn't make sufficiently clear which code runs in which turn

ooh... perfect! https://github.com/SrTobi/escalima JavaScript parser for scala, based on esprima.

dependency constraints are making escalima really challenging to use

I'm making more use of the jessica grammar, mixed in with es5 in estree.
