bn0: an alternative babel-node binary with pre-loaded nightly presets

npm install -g babel-node-bin-stage-0

This is a fork of babel-cli that only provides a bn0 binary. bn0 is a babel-node alternative with all nightly presets pre-loaded. It comes with:

• babel-preset-latest
• babel-preset-react
• babel-preset-stage-0

Why?

First of all, it's no different than babel-node so don't use it in production.

Say you wanna quickly prototype some stuff using the latest JavaScript features, but:

1. Installing babel-cli and presets globally is a bad idea
2. Setting up a new project and adding babel-core, babel-cli, babel-preset-... dependencies takes too much time

Got it? bn0 requires no configuration and doesn't pollute your local require/import calls. Just run your file with bn0 myfile.js, or use bn0 itself for a REPL.
