WIP: Aliased keywords in JavaScript! (for non-English languages).
Try: 1p5tu.csb.app
Been on my mind after seeing requests over the years, so finally spent some time today hacking it together for fun: thanks @JLHwung, @existentialism, @svensauleau for guiding🙌
ALT Grid showing different source files, using chinese, spanish, and emojis and having corresponding configs that allow using different JavaScript keywords, for example "new" as "nuevo"

TC39 has advanced the Record & Tuple proposal to Stage 2!
This brings immutable datastructures to JavaScript.
Congrats to my colleagues @TechAtBloomberg @r_ricard @rickbutton @NicoloRibaudo who are championing the proposal.

What if JavaScript has all the features we think we want?
Do you think we deserve it?
Here is a list of features you can bring into JavaScript with @babeljs, who says you can’t write babel plugin for fun? 🤷♂️

New @MaintainersAnon with @jdan on 98.css (76min)!
We chat about motivation by nostalgia, pixel perfection as a standard, creating for fun, and satire at no one's expense! (and Guy Fieri wasn't the original choice for Babel's exports.guy 😮)

Looking for some feedback on this idea for Babel 8:
Introduce our breaking changes in v8 in a v7 patch under a env flag so integrations can migrate without needing to change versions. Any concerns or suggestions to help with this (our side or lib side)?

So @existentialism and I had an awesome chat about @codesandbox CI with @CompuIves and @lucabogdan!
Iterated off an initial template from Ives (apologies for my react code)
example with input/plugin/output/config panes similar to ASTExplorer: 7s08o.csb.app

Published a ep of Hope in Source with Timothy Patitsis again (48m)! Had a fun convo on maintenance through the lens of legacy: language, diversity via mosaics, legibility + role of tradition in preserving knowledge, algorithms, sanctification

Congrats to my colleague @TechAtBloomberg @rickbutton on publishing an experimental @babeljs transform+polyfill for TC39 Stage-1 proposal Record & Tuple.
It is a source-code-only release, not for use in production!
