The author has a beef with the ES5-compatible code that Babel emits for async/await, but you don't have to go that far. If you can get away with ignoring IE and Safari, the latest versions of Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera all h

If your target environment has promises and generators available, I'm fond of using Babel's first-party `transform-async-to-generator` plugin, which barely alters your code's syntax: https://babeljs.io/docs&

There's always a risk of abandonment, no matter the vendor. A more important question is what sort of lock-in you're facing. What are you left with if the project fails? Mozilla tries its damnedest to avoid locking people in, an

The Persona code suffered from pretty serious feature creep. It's F/OSS, but I'd strongly suggest learning from Persona's design rather than directly re-hosting the code. Heck, some of the code still dates back to when N

That's quite a leap just to get to an ad hominem attack. The way we have WordPress configured should have handled this automagically. I'll look into why it didn't.

Focus is a tracking blocker, not an ad blocker. Mozilla doesn't have a fundamental problem with display advertising on the web, but we do have a problem with the privacy intrusions associated with invisible trackers.

In this case, Koa uses generators and promises together to emulate the behavior of async/await style concurrency. You can see how Babel 5.x transforms ES7 async/await into generators and promises at https://github.com&#
