I’m going to go a bit off topic, but it amazes me how quickly the community has flipped to embrace transpilers. Most or all of the features of ES6 have been available for years through things like CoffeeScript or TypeScript, and all it took was a transpiling step, yet the community largely passed them by. But now the community has flocked to ES6 and transpiling through Babel, and suggesting that they’ll be transpiling forever, even though they could have been transpiling all along but didn’t.
