It's all about transpilers

Aka source-to-source compiler or transcompiler.

Why transpile?

• To gain access to new syntax, such as
  • Modules
  • Arrow functions
  • Template string
  • ES6 classes
• And much, much more

Transpilers

• Generic
  • Babel
  • Traceur
• Specific
  • TypeScript
  • CoffeeScript
  • Dart

Use tools!

• Pros
  • Lots of resources online
  • Easy to set up and configure
• Cons
  • Configuration...

Install Node.js if you want to follow the next examples.

I also recommend live-server.
