        _atjn 😉 I actually think this proves my point. I don't use Babel (personally) because I want to use proposals that have been fully standardized and implemented. Anything earlier than that is potentially not going to happen, because it might be a bad idea, or it might not work.

      _atjn Babel is complicated and messy because it allows you to - effectively - write code that is unsafe to assume is correct, and it has to handle all the possible side effects of that. Some people like writing not-JS, and shipping that to browsers that only run JS.

    _atjn That's why the tooling for not-JS (TS, Babel) is so complex! It should stay there, pre-JS!
