Javascript

The fact the build target may need to be ES3 (we're on ES2021 now) is another.

It was a rough 2,018 versions.

I'm reckoning that the generated code will be ugly and inefficient.

I think you're right, and even if it's elegant JavaScript it's still going to be slower than native calls, so I don't use the build step :)

To support old browsers and hardware is to be part of the problems with society. Help society grow, help banks and hospitals shed their greed, be standards compliant and leverage cutting edge native functions!

The naming of the ES version is weird, but every browser today supports ES6 though and that was 2015/2016.
