Section 9 - Let's Build a Framework or Library!

New Upcoming Features

• Transpile: Convert one programming syntax into another.

  • Examples:

    • Typescript:

      • Can convert ES6, classes, and strongly typed variables into usable JavaScript that all browsers can handle.

    • Traceur:

      • Same as above

  • ES6 is not wildly supported yet - so these program transpilers are really helpful.

    • Say you have a large project, and want to begin using the newest forms of javascript.

    • Transpilers allow you to keep both your new code as well as a convertible copy when the time comes that it is wildly supported.
