Was looking around for performance numbers between the two.. for me, I’d wanted to reduce my bundle size… I upgraded to node 8, as well as adjusting babel config to only use the transforms needed to run in node 8 for all stage 2+ transforms. My .zip size for the deployment bundle (that doesn’t include node_modules) but does include a dockerfile went from 27k to 23k. If I see similar improvements, that will be awesome.

Just curious if you’re running through babel, and did similar changes?

Was mainly as a note for myself, but sharing in case others find it useful… really reduced start time with babel-node for dev/test/build scripts as well.
