If you can support Logan's work on @babeljs please donate to our opencollective.com/babel (and reach out to me if you want to talk further about sponsorship). Reminder that both of us don't have full time jobs at a company anymore 😁
Logan Smyth of the @babeljs team just reviewed the whole Next.js config in preparation of Babel 7 support 🙇♂️. Pretty seamless transition.
Lots of perf improvements and goodies to come!

March TC39 meeting is this week: made an issue to track stuff github.com/babel/proposals/i… (there's a lot of stuff I don't think we have done yet with the last meeting, think about contributing or helping out!)
Major props to @bignerdranch for letting me work on @babeljs this week! I’ve never contributed to it before, but hoping I can provide some help to finish the private class fields plugin!
We will be recording a new episode with @left_pad tomorrow, the current maintainer of @babeljs and all-around OSS superhero. He recently left his job at Adobe/Behance to devote 100% of his time to OSS. You can support him on @Patreon here 👇 patreon.com/henryzhu
Going to be reaching out to companies soon in how we (Babel) can partner together, but if you see this and want to talk, feel free to DM me and we can do a video call or meet in person if you're in the NYC area
Much respect to @left_pad for leaving the security of his dev job at Adobe to focus full-time on @babeljs - a tool freeCodeCamp.org couldn't go without.
I'm proud to help support his efforts. If you have the resources, consider supporting him too. patreon.com/henryzhu/overvie…
👋 Latest version of `npx babel-upgrade` handles rollup-plugin-babel, webpack 1 (although v4 released 😛), `--install` flag to install new deps on npm/yarn, and a few other things. Should handle most basic setups now?
PSA: If you are looking to use Babel 7, it's also a perfect opportunity to contribute back to github.com/babel/babel-upgra… to see where we can automate the process whether for your own code or other tools/libraries (just started it this week), or at least document necessary changes
Posted about it a few times but this could be a fun new project to contribute to: github.com/babel/babel-upgra… `npx babel-upgrade`
Try it on your own or other people's projects, report issues, come up with your own suggestions, submit PRs! Help us try to automate what we can!
React + Redux workshop at @forwardJS with Brian Holt (@holtbt), Kye Hohenberger (@tkh44). Great work bootstrapping this lab with @reactjs and @babeljs right in the browser.
Our @babeljs notes from today's meeting: lots of stuff about v7, the repl, and more github.com/babel/notes/blob/…
and free feel to reply if you have questions/want to help out
