ES6 Module transpiler #53

Closed gordonbrander closed 10 years ago

gordonbrander commented 11 years ago

Any interest in switching module definitions in the source to ES6 Modules? Doing so would allow the ES6 module transpiler to produce CommonJS and AMD versions of the source. Everyone is happy!

browserify can already transpile commonJS into AMD.

gordonbrander commented 10 years ago

Here's why I think this is cool:

You can compile browser version that exports to globals.
Compiled source looks like the source you would write by hand in each case.
You can keep compiled files separate --- no need to glom them into one file.
Use whatever bundling toolchain you are familiar with. It lets library consumers use the tools and workflow they would use otherwise, instead of asking them learn a new tool.
ES6 module syntax is pretty.

Hmm, I retract my support. ES6 Module transpiler currently only supports declarations with semicolons at the end. Don't want to poison reducer's oh-so-lovely comma-free hipster style! Maybe someday...
