Supporting Babel




  

  

  



Babel (pronounced ["babble"](https://soundcloud.com/sebmck/how-to-pronounce-babel))  is a community-driven project used by many companies and projects, and is maintained by a group of [volunteers](https://babeljs.io/team). If you'd like to help support the future of the project, please consider:

- Giving developer time on the project. (Message us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/babeljs) or [Slack](https://slack.babeljs.io/) for guidance!)

- Giving funds by becoming a sponsor on [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/babel) or [GitHub](https://github.com/sponsors/babel/) (which goes to our Open Collective account)!

## Intro

Babel is a tool that helps you write code in the latest version of JavaScript. When your supported environments don't support certain features natively, Babel will help you compile those features down to a supported version.

**In**

```js

// ES2020 nullish coalescing

function greet(input) {

  return input ?? "Hello world";

}

```

**Out**

```js

function greet(input) {

  return input != null ? input : "Hello world";

}

```
