It's neat to see a competitor to babel, but man that colour scheme is suspiciously similar.

> xto6 transpiles your ES5 code to ES6. It does exactly the opposite of what other transpilers do (like babel and traceur).

Babel is ES6 to ES5 right? This seems to target a different audience. Namely moving your ES5 codebase to ES6 automatically.

Also I think the similarity in color scheme is very intentional. As this seems like a wink towards babel, being an anti-babel.

Yes, in fact it looks a lot like a preparing step towards babel: convert ES5 codebase to ES6, then use babel so it still runs on ES5 browsers.

Yellow and grey are the colours on the JS logo, I'm assuming that's why both Babel and xto6 use it.

It's more like a reverse Babel. Babel does 6 to 5 , this does 5 to 6.

the color scheme is monokai, used by the ace editor (others as well)

Parent meant the yellow/black color scheme of the webpage, which are the colors Babel uses for its branding too.
