Harnly: Madalinski, mmm, dunno, I haven’t tried it enough to be able to tell
Madalinski: Harnly: same applies for async/await transpiling result, as those are compiled into generators, and generators in cl***es are either stripped or ignored. I can’t make decorators transpile into chained function call with es6.cl***es blacklisted as well.
Lamborn: Kamuela_iOS: if you go to miamifishing.com home page only and touch “charter info” menu item at the very right, because the rest is also unclickable you’ll get a sub-menu drop down with css from which you CAN’T click anything except the last item, which happens to fall over div#page. If you REDUCE the top padding of #page, you can click them!
Lamborn: It’s like the PADDING falls ON TOP of the elements, blocking the clicks.
Madalinski: Harnly: yeah, and in babel’s slack nobody’s going to help also. I know nobody is obliged to, but I am the first to really try to wire flow and babel together?
Madalinski: It seems that the best solution will be to spend few months on implementing plugin for babel for transpiling into flow’s dialect. Or, alternatively, spend same amount of time on making flow use ESTree
Harnly: I doubt it, perhaps try later, many people are going to be in US, it is kind of too early or too late at this time
Tiefenauer: Mobile chrome browser works fine socialblogsite
Lamborn: Kamuela_iOS: cool. Then it’s Safari only. I kind of guessed it
Bradner: Madalinski: take that initiative and add the functionality to the browsers instead
Madalinski: Kamuela_iOS: to all of them, I guess?
Madalinski: This is not funny. my platform is node.js, and node will not support type checking in foreseable future, until ES7 is landed.
Marrone: Fork node and add the support
Madalinski: Yup, sounds quite easy
Madalinski: Remind me please, how do I properly computer?
Kutzer: Well it’s up to you. Just seemed like you were ready to contribute to one open source project, so I gave you an alternative to bring your focus to a head.
Madalinski: Kamuela_iOS: of course, I would like to contribute to opensource product. I am just estimating my skills realistically. Implementing ES6/ES7 support in V8 on my own = completely unrealistic.
Pettibon: Madalinski: try your original question on stack overflow. It’s very active with JavaScript es6 stuff
Harnly: Madalinski, TypeScript is more mature
Madalinski: Harnly: TypeScript lacks even more stuff
Harnly: Madalinski, what does it lack that you need?
Madalinski: Harnly: async/await, for example.
Madalinski: Harnly: or, say, generators. no generators, and no way to transpile them
Madalinski: No computable properties
Harnly: Well, but do you *need* those?
Harnly: After all is about weighting the pros/cons
Madalinski: Well, of course I can write targeting pre-es3 environments, but then what’s the point? why use cl***es, if you have functions? why use functions when you’ve got Good Ol’ Solid Chunk o’ Code and goto’s?
Harnly: TS has cl***es, and promises
Harnly: All those features are in the roadmap though
Harnly: Https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Roadmap
Madalinski: Yeah, but it has no generators, no iterators, interfaces with vanilla JS poorly it does not interface with vanilla JS at all, you have to convert everything to TS or write bindings, and it forces transpiling besides just doing typechecking
Harnly: Madalinski, you can’t have it all ¯_ツ_/¯
Harnly: Now that the Babel guy works for Facebook, it is possible they will improve compatibility
Madalinski: Sunk funds. they will not throw out flow written in ocaml and make it use babel p****r written in js
Harnly: It is fine, it doesn’t matter if it is written in Ocaml
Madalinski: Well, ***** it all : some day stars will be right
Madalinski: Harnly: but how is ocaml interfaceable with js code?
