Hi. I'm somewhat inexperienced when it comes to node, and I've spent the last few months (off and on) building an app with it.I've recently started looking into JavaScript supersets - in particular Babel and TypeScript. The reason being that I want to take full advantage of all the helpful features, keywords, etc. that these supersets (transpilers?) have to offer.After much deliberation, I've decided to pursue Babel. The main reason for this is because it seems to be on the forefront of ECMAScript development.Now correct me if I'm wrong: Babel can be used for server-side (i.e. node.js) development, right? If that's the case, why do I get the impression that Babel is not really that often used for server-side development? I've tried searching phrases such as 'babel nodejs', 'babel expressjs nodejs', and I'll often get a dearth of results and little to no pointers, guides, or tutorials for getting started.Is there something I'm missing here? This is my first delve into 'modern/hip(ster)' (so to speak) technologies, and I just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the role Babel (and other similar JS supersets) plays.Thanks for reading!
