I always wondered why does it take such a long time to formalize this in Babel's specs. It seems something fairly unequivocally useful, but I guess its implementation has some major hurdles in JS.
- andersns 7y agoBabel doesn't have a spec per se. They try to be compliant with the ECMAScript spec, but implement popular proposals behind presets or plugins. You can read about their relationship to ECMAScript and the TC39 committee on their blog: https://babeljs.io/blog/2018/08/27/7.0.0#babels-role https://babeljs.io/blog/2018/08/27/7.0.0#babels-role. Getting something through the TC39 is a pretty lengthy process, you can read about it here https://tc39.es/process-document/ https://tc39.es/process-document/.
