Thanks for sharing, I'm very interested in how his ideas might help us understand open source as well! Actually just posted a few chats recently on Illich, the last one speaking on this and related essays. https://hopeinsour

Yep there's been various PRs for perf over the years but it's never been a focus per-se, and we've had help from various people including the v8 team https://twitter.com/left_pad/status/927554660508

Yeah I've had a difficult time figuring out how this was tested: I would recommend using the benchmark at https://github.com/v8/web-tooling-benchmark in the future if it's currently not possible since curren

If you can use test262's test suite you should be good, it looks like they are referring to Babel's tests for some of the features? example https://github.com/swc-project/swc/pull/86 , I just checked

We certaintly have PRs around perf https://github.com/babel/babel/labels/area%3A%20perf but we don't have explicit benchmarking for it, and have had work from v8 team and others https://twitte

Henry here, didn't expect this post to ever be on HN heh! The podcast is a 10 episode series (pre-recorded it over the last 5 months) with my friend Nadia (who isn't religious) I'm writing up a post about making it from scrat

If dependencies are an issue, I would like to make another package that just bundles it all into 1 package (reuse `babel`) so there aren't any "deps" to install but haven't gotten around to doing it, would be a useful c

Yeah I was hesitant due to not that much support in the community, etc but after hitting the typo-squatting issue over like 5 times (you'd think once would be enough) it just had to be done. There are other issues for our plugin ecosys

Hmm, sorry it feels that way! I don't use react-native and don't think anyone on the team was informed of that issue - but is it really an issue from Babel itself? I guess in that case I would suggest not transforming files like &

Yep you got that right! Only thing I can think of (since changing the default to be non-spec would be odd) is just warning on larger code size outputs and saying you could try loose mode in certain plugins/situations. Lastly would be d

I'll update the post to give an idea of how it works, thanks!

Yeah, it doesn't doesn't anything that is multi-file like const enums since Babel operates per file. (I work on Babel)

Gave a talk at React Rally that goes over this briefly. https://github.com/hzoo/so-how-does-babel-even-work , and a basic version of the actual Babel transform: http://astexplorer.net/#/gist/cc

It's parseable in Babel 7, issue to implement the transform is https://github.com/babel/proposals/issues/2

The purpose of https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env is that it handles all this automatically (not run when it's supported natively)

If anyone wants to try this out (I did), just added it to the Babel website! https://babeljs.io/php atm you have to add `<?php` at the beginning.

Yep, if anyone can/wants to help out with this effort I would follow/review the issues/PRs in our typescript label https://github.com/babel/babel/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+lab... (I help with Babel)

by hzoo 9y ago
Yeah a good idea. I was thinking we could make a similar table to compat-table (maybe using six-speed or this) that we could use as data to https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env so that Babel could compile based on
