@sebmck @rreverser @marijnjh it should be an OPTION to build on top of babel, not req b/c babel is popular and chose non-interop.

@sebmck @rreverser @marijnjh it seems like babel is prioritizing its own capabilities and disregarding concerns of other tools.

@sebmck @rreverser @marijnjh i would prefer tools, esp the big popular ones, to prioritize interop (even if that makes things "harder")

@sebmck @rreverser @marijnjh but of course you wouldn't have to care about interop b/c you're the biggest popularity tool. let others change

@sebmck @rreverser @marijnjh when tools in any part of our industry value standards over their own internal goals, interop wins.

@sebmck as @rreverser said, for example, browser JS engines. @marijnjh

@getify @rreverser @marijnjh You're comparing the usage of the web to a developer tool like Babel?

@sebmck @rreverser @marijnjh when tools choose standards adherence (for interop), more tools in ecosystem win.
