Traceur – A JavaScript.next-to-JavaScript-of-today compiler
- grenoire 10y agoIn short, this is Babel by Google that runs with its own additional runtime?
- phpnode 10y agoTraceur has been around for years, much longer than Babel, it's a Google project but afaik it's mostly the work of one person
- kermire 10y agoTraceur was the inspiration for Babel. Not the other way around.
- hzoo 10y agoYep! > We also presented Traceur at NodeConf 2011. The video is available on YouTube [1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ntDZa7ekFEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=nt...
- davedunkin 10y agoThere are only 4 commits since the last release 6 months ago, and most of the commits are from two authors. This doesn't look like a healthy active project.
- pornel 10y agoTraceur doesn't use semver. I've used it for a while, but frequent breakages were annoying. Having to lock it down to an ageing version and being afraid to update it is a liability.
- nojvek 10y agoSeems like grandfather of babel. Why would anyone use it, when babel has moved miles forward?

- Kwastie 10y agoI guess Google put more effort into TypeScript, this project seems like it's almost dead.
- whatever_dude 10y agoAdding "Traceur" in the title would make this more clear. It's an old project, and, I believe, mostly forgotten. I actually assumed the link was a new announcement.
- sctb 10y agoYes, thank you. We've updated the title.
- SimeVidas 10y agoYou must be new here. The titles are supposed to be vague and clickbaity. Don't ask me why; that's just how things are here on HN.
- whatever_dude 10y agoYou can check the age of an account by clicking on the user name. I tend to prefer direct discourse online rather than cynicism or sarcasm.
- SimeVidas 10y agoWhy not both? “Normal” criticism is boring and gets ignored; you have to add sarcasm to increase the likelihood of a response.
