Babel meeting - January 14th

[nicolo-ribaudo]

Agenda

• Do we want Babel to be compatible with ESTree ASTs?
  We already have a parser plugin to generate ESTree-compliant ast, but @babel/types and @babel/traverse don't work with it.
  Ref: @babel/types: added standard estree Property type babel#9253, @babel/types: getBindingIdentifiers: add Property to support estree s… babel#9258
  (On slack: Out of scope, ESTree was only added to make babel-eslint work better)
• babel-eslint: How do we handle missing Babel config files in v11?
  Ref: Discussion: how do we handle missing Babel config files in v11 babel-eslint#738 (by @kaicataldo)
• core-js@3. It is really hard not to make breaking changes. Please read the PR description: Update to core-js@3 babel#7646
• Babel 7.3.0
• Syntax support for placeholders (@nicolo-ribaudo and @tolmasky)
  Ref: Support @babel/template Placeholders at the Syntax Level in @babel/parser babel#9112)
• Henry: what's our next "core" feature?
  • https://github.com/babel/website/blob/master/docs/roadmap.md
  • Infra: test262
  • Docs: polyfills
  • Website: REPL + codesandbox

@babel/babel feel free to add items to the agenda!

Hi! I'd love to discuss babel/babel-eslint#738 so that we can figure out how we want to do the next babel-eslint release.

core-js@3 PR link is broken. Should it be babel/babel#7646?
