It's neat to see a competitor to babel, but man that colour scheme is suspiciously similar.

- aikah 11y ago> It's neat to see a competitor to babel, but man that colour scheme is suspiciously similar. It's more like a reverse Babel. Babel does 6 to 5 , this does 5 to 6.
- arianvanp 11y agoBabel is ES6 to ES5 right? This seems to target a different audience. Namely moving your ES5 codebase to ES6 automatically. Also I think the similarity in color scheme is very intentional. As this seems like a wink towards babel, being an anti-babel.
- masklinn 11y agoYes, in fact it looks a lot like a preparing step towards babel: convert ES5 codebase to ES6, then use babel so it still runs on ES5 browsers.
- madeofpalk 11y ago> xto6 transpiles your ES5 code to ES6. It does exactly the opposite of what other transpilers do (like babel and traceur).
- thecatspaw 11y agothe color scheme is monokai, used by the ace editor (others as well)
- coldtea 11y agoParent meant the yellow/black color scheme of the webpage, which are the colors Babel uses for its branding too.
- hex13 11y agoprobably because JS logo has also similar colors: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/voodootikigod/logo.js/master/js.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/voodootikigod/logo.js/mast...
- LukeB_UK 11y agoYellow and grey are the colours on the JS logo, I'm assuming that's why both Babel and xto6 use it.
