We've merged @babel/preset-env 2 to the REPL so you can try `shippedProposals`, `builtIns: "usage"`, `safari TP` and other new features just from the browser. Thanks @existentialism for review! #Babel #babel-preset-env babeljs.io/repl/#?babili=fal…

Figured I'd post it at some point 🤔: looking for help with a roadmap for Babel (some things I thought of): github.com/babel/babel/pull/…. Not sure it's the best format/place but feel free to comment on the PR/here, I know I could add a lot more details to a bunch of these.

Another OSS developer worthy of financial support is @MarijnJH, who wrote Acorn, the JS parser used by ESLint and the foundation of Babel's parser. (Babylon is an Acorn fork.) patreon.com/marijn

Got an experimental setup that compile TS with Babel 7… so you also get the auto-polyfilling goodies from babel-preset-env. Not sure if it’s production ready though

I've updated the blog post on @babeljs's site with an improved example which should be less distracting and more eye opening to why babel-plugin-macros (and preval) are neat: babeljs.io/blog/2017/09/11/z… 🎣

Made an issue to discuss babel-eslint reading from .babelrc config to determine syntax usage github.com/babel/babel-eslin… @geteslint @babeljs, could potentially do more from this kind of idea as well?

So @loganfsmyth has an awesome PR ready to add a "overrides" option to @babeljs configs github.com/babel/babel/pull/… Can means different config/transforms by regex (like difference for client/server) and less need for multiple configs in different folders

This is such a inspiring way to start out 2018. Let's support open source. Go to your boss, ask them what it would take to sponsor and _invest_ in one of these projects. I'm interest to hear their answers.
Our New Year's resolution: Step up our support of open source sustainability! We are starting with a monthly sponsorship of @babeljs, #webpack, and @preactjs ❤️. For details see amphtml.wordpress.com/2018/0…
