Heh, is this some kind of practical joke? I look at kangax's compatibility table and this particular thing barely implements anything in ES6. How can it be popular?
An then you have the author claiming that he never wrote a compiler... why would anyone use a compiler written by a self-confessed rookie?
Also there is this "AOT compiling" he mentions. Wtf. In the world of JS, this thing is called "transpiler". The "AOT" is implied. You compile ES6 to ESx "ahead of time".
That, and author does not mention how his product compares to others. Makes me think he is unaware of other products like Traceur or Typescript or whatever.
All together, this is probably just a practical joke or something.
- nilliams 12y agoI think you are misunderstanding. This is a compiler, not a transpiler. It compiles JavaScript into an executable binary.
