bn0: bn0: babel-node with pre-loaded presets

$ npm install -g bn0
$ bn0 myFile.js

This is a wrapper of @babel/node that provides a bn0 binary. bn0 is a babel-node alternative with some commonly used presets pre-loaded. It comes with:

• @babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties
• @babel/preset-env
• @babel/preset-flow
• @babel/preset-react

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.
