+## Hallelujah—In Praise of Babel
+
+I heard there was a clever trick
+That rewrote all your JavaScript
+But you don’t really care for magic, do you
+Well it goes like this: the source, the dist
+The ES five, the ES six
+The sacred script transforming Hallelujah
+
+Hallelujah, Hallelujah
+Hallelujah, Hallelujah
+
+So I added all the shiny things
+Classes, spreads and template strings
+Through syntax sugared code I tried to woo you
+Generators, const and let
+I used them all without regret
+And it’s a terse and a destructured Hallelujah
+
+Hallelujah etc.
+
+Well my faith was strong but I needed proof
+The standard was my source of truth
+But TC39 meant nothing to you
+So even though you weren’t impressed
+I checked the build against the spec
+And it’s a more-or-less compliant Hallelujah
+
+Hallelujah etc.
+
+Now you say the build step’s too complex
+And you claim no need for ES Next
+Well I used to think that way before I knew you
+But your code grows older with each line
+It’s a joyless dirge on a withered vine
+It’s a threnody for a bygone Hallelujah
+
+Hallelujah etc.
+
+Yes I learned about the danger signs
+How they’d polyfilled a thousand lines
+The cost of using Maps and Symbols threw you
+Still I disregarded common sense
+Now my source is small but the build’s immense
+And it’s a slow and unresponsive Hallelujah
+
+Hallelujah etc.
+
+There was a time when they let me know
+What’s really going on below
+But now there’s only source maps there to school you
+And debugging’s not a progress march
+It’s a frenzied fumble in the dark
+It’s a labyrinthine search for Hallelujah
+
+Hallelujah etc.
+
+Well, maybe there’s a god up there
+But all I ever got from prayers
+Was broken builds and errors that would spook you
+And that anguished cry you hear at night
+Is the plugin I forgot to write
+It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
+
+Hallelujah etc.
