I think that would be useful eventually, but unfortunately my experience trying beta 3 this evening has been disastrous, so I’d definitely encourage you to focus on stability and reliability of the main build system first. Right now, it seems the only way to successfully build our code using beta 3 is to have none of the old Babel-related packages and config around any more, but that means we can’t use other essentials like Jest or ESLint that also rely on Babel. So unfortunately it looks like our current choices with Parcel are using Parcel 1 (recently broken in many ways as other comments have noted), Parcel 2 beta 2 (which was mostly working OK for us, though sourcemaps were broken) or Parcel 2 beta 3 (doesn’t look viable at all based on tonight’s experiments). Right now this project is only at prototype-to-MVP stage in a stealth-mode startup, so it’s worth spending some of our time to experiment with different tools and infrastructure if it gets us to a good set-up for the long term, but I hope you get to production-ready before we do! :-)

Would be great if you could open a Github issue describing the problems you ran into when using your existing Babel config. That should still work just as before
