Prepare for Babel 7.x

[stevefan1999-personal]

• .babelrc.js
• Fixed stage-x/proposal versioning
• Deprecation of old node environment

The alpha versions of Babel 7 is publicly available in npm. Feel free to test it but I'm not sure that's the intent.

Thanks. I'd like to test it.
Anyway, I think updating this is pretty straight forward.

TypeScript support just landed in Babel 7 alpha. I'm interested in testing it. What are the steps involved in updating next.js to use Babel 7?

That good news. Note you can find more informations about breaking changes in the future blog posts: Upgrade to Babel 7 and Upgrade to Babel 7 for Tool Authors.

Don't hesitate to ping me for questions about Babel 7.

It seems that [email protected] is in the dependencies of [email protected]
But I still can't use .babelrc.js any updates on this?

Also, babel 7 allows us to use typescript with @babel/preset-typescript, any news on applying this to next directly?

any updates on this guys? Would love to use babel+typescript together.

@lifeiscontent you can already do that using @zeit/next-typescript, but babel 7 is on our list for v6 👍

@timneutkens I tried using the typescript server example with dotenv example babelrc and it didn't work.
