As a once-and-likely-future vendor of transpilers, I think about this a lot. The TypeScript's and JSX's of the world are not chained to the back-compat firmaments the way languages and platforms are, and taking bets on them is something we should _culturally_ discourage.
Replying to @slightlylate
If your tool comes with a transpiler in the default toolchain, it's a distributed liability whose costs you are externalizing onto unsuspecting teams that probably can't afford it.

I finally finished my display for my LEGO Saturn V rocket! It’s a custom-built acrylic stand with Adafruit Neopixels running on a 5V Trinket. Mega thanks to @seb_ly for helping get this total Arduino beginner off the ground. Can’t believe how good it turned out! 😊

Part of why engineering is so hard is *because* we undervalue teaching

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity
