It's just a JS to JS compiler written by some engineers very keen on their work, judging from the quality of the code. I don't know what "neutral" means here. Traceur is open source with an Apache license. It has an open newsgroup and bug list. > I've actually asked traceur whether they intent to become a full es harmony > compliant transpiler but there was no response. > I guess you mean you posted to the traceur newsgroup and there was no response. In my experience when this happens you can usually draw the obvious conclusion: the participants in the newsgroup have no answer. Based on what I have read on that newsgroup, there is one person contributing now, Eric. Based on his posts, his agenda is to improve the project. > > And another reason would be that it currently implements some strawmans > that conflict with harmony proposals. > > For example it's class mechanism is not loyal to the _current_ es harmony > proposal, another example would be traceur generators not using the > `function*` notation. Ok, so fix it. Return to the traceur newsgroup with your ideas and patches. Come up with some way to select different features by options.
