I'm a self-taught dev focused on websites and Python development.
My friends call me the "Data Genie".
When I get bored, I find tech to read about, write about and build things with.
Do you think maybe we'll always need something like Babel? So it won't go away.
There are always going to be legacy browsers and users who have to update. When they've all caught up to using ES6 in a few years, by then there is some newer syntax they don't have support for. So you going to need to transpile down to ES6 or ES7, rather than to pre-ES6.
Babel will be required for users on older browsers that don't support bleeding edge. Es6 and even es7 sugar is no longer transpired unless specifically configured. Null coalesce and optional chaining do get transpiled.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
