+1 to using TypeScript in particular, but anything like it or Babel would be nice.

I prefer to avoid compilation for the core scripts. I’ve used Babel in the past and found it to be big and slow. Keeping the code on ES5 makes supporting older Node versions easy. If/when that change, I’d look at moving to ES6 directly (no compiler).

Babel

Have you tried TypeScript with ES3/ES5 output? tsc -w is pretty speedy. :)

We use TS->ES5 at my day job. :) It sounds better than Babel, but still adds complexity/dependencies.
