Babel already had to build all of the things to do this, we're just exposing them to the world.
I can only see this improving things as people start using what was Babel internals directly and reporting issues on them as they are discovered.
Facebook has been doing this a lot the past few weeks and they've found a bunch of issues that we never caught.
- coldtea 11y agoHaving modular and re-usable internals is a good thing. But "we're now becoming a platform" raises red flags that it could mean things further than that -- the kitchen sink approach.
- thejameskyle 11y agoWell modular and re-usable internals is exactly what we mean by "platform"
- coldtea 11y agoBut then why "modular and re-usable internals" also arrive with the removal of the default behavior of transpiling code? (Which is what people used Babel for in the first place). To me this signals: "we're now an abstract collection of tools for various js related tasks, no singular focus on being the best transpiler".
