Suggestion to change the section about JavaScript

[hzoo]

For https://github.com/grab/front-end-guide#new-age-javascript, can you mention using https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env instead of "ES2015" by which you mean babel-preset-es2015? I would explain that as browsers natively support ES whatever babel can just compile what is necessary.

And regarding babel-preset-stage-0, I would recommend explaining what Stage 0 means if it's going to be mentioned at all (that it's not javascript and just proposals that might go away). If you need help with this, can check out http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/#presets-stage-x-experimental-presets-, https://github.com/hzoo/role-of-babel-in-js, https://tc39.github.io/process-document/

I would recommend suggesting stage-3 for stability. Historically, stage-0 have changed their implementations based on vendor feedback, async/await was a big one, where as a stage-3 is awaiting implementation.

Although you could probably write a codemod to change them nowadays.

Thanks for your comments @sidhuko , but the fact is that we were using preset-stage-0, and are in the process of changing to preset-env for our apps. I'll add in a note to inform about using stage-3 for stability.

Yeah Stage 0 is literally just someone's idea on the committee and could change at any point. Of course we have tests and will try to help migrate users when possible but we are just volunteers.
