I'm extremely stupid and didn't commit as I go. To anyone reading this I'm extremely sorry. A lot of these changes are very broad and I plan on releasing Babel 6.0.0 today live on stage at Ember Camp London so I'm afraid I couldn't wait. If you're ever in London I'll buy you a beer (or assorted beverage!) to make up for it, also I'll kiss your feet and give you a back massage, maybe.

Babylon is a JavaScript parser used in Babel.
- ES6 enabled by default.
- Comment attachment.
- Support for JSX and Flow.
- Support for experimental language proposals.
Credits
Heavily based on acorn and acorn-jsx, thanks to the awesome work of @RReverser and @marijnh.
Significant diversions are expected to occur in the future such as streaming, EBNF definitions, sweet.js integration, interspacial parsing and more.
