I have the intuition that the plans of the developers of the future version of JS are that you will always have to transpille the code. https://youtu.be/3pKNRg

It made some sense before Babel but now, IMHO, it is only for Ruby developers who don't like the syntax of JavaScript.

At this point, JavaScript is inching closer and closer to just being assembly language for the web. I think things will get very interesting indeed once WebAssembly really starts to be a real thing.

As a Ruby developer who doesn't like the syntax of JavaScript, Babel and ES6+ have changed my perspective. After the initial hurdle of figuring out what the hell webpack, babel, and npm (now yarn) were doing, I've found Javascript to be outright pleasant to use.
