Why does a transpiler need a configuration? Isn't the whole point of it to transform one set of script to another set? Seems to be a very basic set of default configuration items could be (and should be) integrated into said application and allow advanced users to override.
But yeah in node land if you don't upgrade to the latest major you're going to be left behind in bug and security fixes (good luck finding projects with actually maintained LTS branches and if they exist they're almost always the previous major version and nothing further back).
- spankalee 11y agoThat whole point of Babel 6's design is that it can't know what "set" of script to compile to. The user necessarily has to know where they want their code to run.
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoThe design the fine but the level of intuitiveness is absolutely not fine. Not shipping the default transformations that the vast majority of developers use? Or really shipping ANY of them and thus making your initial download not usable until you download something else? Inexcusable. Shipping a product that is incomplete unless you get something else should simply not be acceptable in this day.
