The compiler for writing next generation JavaScript.
## 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;
});
```
