Thank you for stopping by! I am a full-stack developer that combines the power of entrepreneurship and programming to make the lives of programmers easier.
Babel is also a very good way to scare beginners from using latest JS. Backwards compatibility is important but there isn't a need to include it in every single tutorial out there. Let people get a taste of new JS then introduce them to Babel, especially now when most up-to-date browsers support it.
Coding is as much a matter of personal growth as it is of logic and control-flow. I keep patience, curiosity, & exuberance in the same toolbox as vim and git.
*Opinions posted are my own*
I can attest to this. My first dev foray was into JS and while I was impressed by the breadth of the ecosystem and the enthusiasm of its torch-bearers, I quickly came to find myself in a sea of chaos.
Sea of Chaos is my title for JS because something that has been around for so long should not be nearly so complicated... all to support versions of browsers that less than 5% of people use.
TypeScript looks nice... but Transcrypt has always looked better since embracing Python.

And I thought that CoffeeScript was the closest to Python. Good find!
