## Hallelujah—In Praise of Babel
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I heard there was a clever trick
|
||||||
|
That rewrote all your JavaScript
|
||||||
|
But you don’t really care for magic, do you
|
||||||
|
Well it goes like this: the source, the dist
|
||||||
|
The ES five, the ES six
|
||||||
|
The sacred script transforming Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So I added all the shiny things
|
||||||
|
Classes, spreads and template strings
|
||||||
|
Through syntax sugared code I tried to woo you
|
||||||
|
Generators, const and let
|
||||||
|
I used them all without regret
|
||||||
|
And it’s a terse and a destructured Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hallelujah etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Well my faith was strong but I needed proof
|
||||||
|
The standard was my source of truth
|
||||||
|
But TC39 meant nothing to you
|
||||||
|
So even though you weren’t impressed
|
||||||
|
I checked the build against the spec
|
||||||
|
And it’s a more-or-less compliant Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hallelujah etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now you say the build step’s too complex
|
||||||
|
And you claim no need for ES Next
|
||||||
|
Well I used to think that way before I knew you
|
||||||
|
But your code grows older with each line
|
||||||
|
It’s a joyless dirge on a withered vine
|
||||||
|
It’s a threnody for a bygone Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hallelujah etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Yes I learned about the danger signs
|
||||||
|
How they’d polyfilled a thousand lines
|
||||||
|
The cost of using Maps and Symbols threw you
|
||||||
|
Still I disregarded common sense
|
||||||
|
Now my source is small but the build’s immense
|
||||||
|
And it’s a slow and unresponsive Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hallelujah etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There was a time when they let me know
|
||||||
|
What’s really going on below
|
||||||
|
But now there’s only source maps there to school you
|
||||||
|
And debugging’s not a progress march
|
||||||
|
It’s a frenzied fumble in the dark
|
||||||
|
It’s a labyrinthine search for Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hallelujah etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Well, maybe there’s a god up there
|
||||||
|
But all I ever got from prayers
|
||||||
|
Was broken builds and errors that would spook you
|
||||||
|
And that anguished cry you hear at night
|
||||||
|
Is the plugin I forgot to write
|
||||||
|
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hallelujah etc.
