Yep there's been various PRs for perf over the years but it's never been a focus per-se, and we've had help from various people including the v8 team https://twitter.com/left_pad/status/927554660508028929. Haha yeah no one wants to hear about open source sustainability in a thread about asking that tools be correct/fast/easy to use at the same time :D

It's true, speed is not really a concern on my mind at the moment - rather that we have enough people even willing to contribute back at all

Trust me, I am well aware that even big open source projects don’t get the resourcing they deserve. Everyone always has to make do. Babel is a fantastic project.

No oops required! I should have been more careful in my initial phrasing. I certainly don’t want to imply that you should be doing even more work!
