... won the disposable syntax sugar of the month.
next month people will want memory protection in JavaScript and JavaScript developers being JavaScript developers will create a new project from scratch with new syntax, just like Babel did from coffee and like typescript did from Babel.
meh.
this is all needed because you have a team that doesn't know how to agree on coding style or something. yes, it would be nice to have type errors detected before runtime. but we have responsive devs so we never had those errors to begin with. and we're way past 80k lines. adding a transpiler would be more annoying than helpful.
- woah 11y agoBabel is a program which compiles a newer version of JS into an older version, so that you can use the new version on platforms that don't support it yet. I can't tell if you're aware of what it is.
