Quit your job if you still use #Traceur.

Traceur is so 2014 ... #6to5 is the new sh**.

Naaah, Traceur is not bad. Both are great :)

Jeah traceur is still a nice project. I just personally don't like the fact that you need the runtime in the $traceurRuntime global variable in node apps ... and the generated code is a mess compared to 6to5 :smiley:

I'd recommend 6to5 over traceur if you start a new project. Give it a shot if you haven't already.

Anyways - keep up the good work Marc. Your open-source contribs and blog articles are quality!

Well, traceur is not necessary anymore for node apps. :)

Actually, I don't care about the beauty of the generated code, because it is a) a generated piece of code, b) code that will be minified anyways and c) I have source-maps for both libs. The runtime is no issue for me as I have to load otherwise other runtime polyfills for unsupported stuff (also in 6to5).

So I'd accept a pull-request that states both. Thanks for your nice words. :smile:
