While it might be a while until script types are available in JavaScript, it will be much better when all browsers implement the modern ES6 standard. Meaning we can write valid ES6 code, without transpiling it down to ES5.

Yeah, you're right... actually, we wrote an app in Vue, and we never needed to transpile for most of our users.

Here: github.com/coretabs-academy/websit...

Until we knew Safari isn't supporting ES6 (all iphone, OSX, and iPad users complained) so we added babel then.

This gave me very positive impression of how JS is getting adopted faster than any other langs.
