Intro
Babel is a tool that helps you write code in the latest version of JavaScript. When your supported environments don't support certain features natively, Babel will help you compile those features down to a supported version.
In
// ES2015 arrow function
[1, 2, 3].map((n) => n + 1);
Out
[1, 2, 3].map(function(n) {
return n + 1;
});
Try it out at our REPL.
