Supporting Babel

Babel is community-driven and thus mostly maintained by a group of volunteers. It has a lot of [companies and projects](http://babeljs.io/users) using it but almost no sponsors/people funded to work on it. If you'd like to help maintain the future of the project, please consider: - Giving developer time on the project. (Message us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/babeljs) or [Slack](slack.babeljs.io)) - [Giving funds by becoming a backer/sponsor on OpenCollective](https://opencollective.com/babel) ## Intro Babel is a tool that helps you write code in the latest version of JavaScript. When your supported environments don't support certain features natively, Babel will help you compile those features down to a supported version. **In** ```js // ES2015 arrow function [1, 2, 3].map((n) => n + 1); ``` **Out** ```js [1, 2, 3].map(function(n) { return n + 1; }); ``` Try it out at our [REPL](https://babeljs.io/repl/build/master#?code_lz=NoRgNATGDMC6B0BbAhgBwBQDsAEBeAfNjgNTYgCUA3EA&lineWrap=true&presets=es2015%2Ces2016%2Ces2017&version=7.0.0-beta.2). - [FAQ](#faq) - [Team](#team) - [Backers](#backers) - [Sponsors](#sponsors) - [License](#license) ## FAQ ### Docs?
