Uglify has had many years to at least attempt to minify ES2015+. They just haven't—it's still an "experimental" branch in their repo: https://github.com/mishoo/

I agree with your comment, but at some point, devs will get impatient.
- beefsack 10y agoAll the effort put into Babili could have gone into that branch though, either through feature implementation or polishing so it's production ready. It's a wrong assumption to make that free software can only be developed centrally by a project owner.
- mlsarecmg 10y agoThis is one of the cases where starting from scratch is probably the better choice. Uglify probably hasn't come near a stable because of the codebase in the first place.
- liespotter 10y agoYeah, uglify only minifies the majority of javascript on the web and is downloaded a half a million times per day. But clearly you know better.
