Why do we need babil, when babel can do the same?

[v0lkan]

Not sure if I was drunk or something when creating this library… but…

"babel lib --source-maps -d release" inside npm scripts, almost does the same thing in a much leaner way.

One advantage of babil is: it comes bundled with certain required dependencies, and does some preflight checks.

Though is it worth the hassle?

I don’t know.
