It's not part of Javascript, so you'll always need Babel (or similar transpiler) as a dependency and some kind of build step.
It's additional complexity when you could have solved the same issue by using better design on the API level.
- sojournerc 6y agoTypescript transpiles JSX, which doesn't disprove your point at all, but it's worth mentioning. I don't intend to ever write un-typed, naked javascript again if I don't have to. Even scripting, ts-node is perfect for it. And as far as complexity - I find typescript to be far better than webpack/babel in configuration and UX.
