Today we have the honor to spotlight a fundamental tool of the web ecosystem: Babel. If you don’t know Babel, it’s a JavaScript compiler that allows you to write next generation JavaScript and compile it to a version that is compatible with all the browsers.

Nicolò Ribaudo, one of the Babel maintainers, is on stage to tell us the story of this project, how it became so popular, and its role in the daily life of a web developer.

We’ll touch also on the topic of funding and sponsoring, and learn how Babel managed to hire engineers with Open Source donations!
