Hi team, Webpack 3 -> 4 update was requested recently which needs babel 7. In addition to it, esm needs (which will allow us to skip rollup for ES modules to help fix many circular dependencies) babel 7, gitlab also needs babel 7.
I started working on the update and just looked at the devDependencies, it needs browserify, webpack, rollup and gulp to build! This is new record even by node's own standard! Luckily we have a recent enough nodejs in unstable and we can skip most of the transpilation steps (tested with acorn) but it requires a manual conversion of ES modules to CJS. It is sad to see native support for ES modules remaining experimental for ever in nodejs. Let me know if anyone feel brave enough to join this effort. Thanks Praveen
