Today, we're celebrating @rwaldron's seven years of documenting the development of ECMAScript. Thanks, Rick! bocoup.com/blog/the-ecmascri…

Also wanted to shoutout the folks at Bloomberg for helping push us to finally land windows CI on travis (long been in the works from appveyor in the past) github.com/babel/babel/pull/…. Great work even if no PRs were submitted/merged, will enable a lot more contributions in the future!

I didn't realize there was a @github option for changing the package in a monorepo for the "used-by" number on the main page! (since the feature has been out it's been using the v5 `babel` package) Guess my bad that I tried changing the package name and now the number is gone 😅

I'm building a compiler that turns crufty JS into lean modern syntax.

I've always been curious how to get babel to parse custom JS syntax (for syntax experiments, mostly)... this article explains it really well! lihautan.com/creating-custom… +@lihautan

Although might as well ask to hear about it: what would you want in a theoretical Babel 8? (although I'd say features can always be done in a minor and we don't need to hype things) 😁

Published the last Babel meeting notes! - Thoughts about a Babel 8 (when Node 8 LTS is end-of-life. Mostly to remove deprecated APIs and other small changes) - Almost fully compliant w/ test262 (for the parser only) - Work on funding post github.com/babel/notes/blob/…

Here are the @babeljs contributors, who are receiving live remote support from core maintainer @NicoloRibaudo. Thank you Nicolo! @r_ricard is making great progress getting test262 working on Babel!

What's next after writing babel plugins? Custom JavaScript syntax with @babeljs lihautan.com/creating-custom…

Thanks @NicoloRibaudo and @JLHwung for letting me contribute to @babeljs and making the experience of first-contribution really amazing. I learnt a lot and hope to contribute more.

Ever wonder how to write your own codemod with @babeljs ? I wrote a step-by-step guide on how you can do it: lihautan.com/step-by-step-gu… Thanks @JLHwung for reviewing it!

Published some notes from yesterday's @babeljs meeting: - Polyfills RFC update - Slice notation PR - Regex-💩 changes - some work on perf - working on some educational content: plugin creation, how people got involved github.com/babel/notes/blob/…

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to my colleague @Tim_McClure @TechAtBloomberg on landing a PR to @babeljs, adding TC39 Stage-3 Private Static Accessors. This completes the class feature matrix! 🔥 Thanks to @NicoloRibaudo @JLHwung & Justin Ridgewell github.com/babel/babel/pull/…

Many of us wear multiple hats on a day to day basis. Henry Zhu, the sole core maintainer of @babeljs, talks to us about Babel and what it's like to maintain an open-source project. @left_pad | RSVP bit.ly/2lWOvhA
