Kneden – Transpile ES7 Async/await to ES6 Promise Chains (Babel Plugin)
Transpile ES2017 async/await to vanilla ES6 Promise chains: a Babel plugin - babel/kneden
Kneden – Transpile ES7 Async/await to ES6 Promise Chains (Babel Plugin) launched on February 13, 2016 with 76 votes, #729 of 4,386 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.
In plain words
Kneden is a Babel plugin that converts ES2017 async/await syntax into ES6 Promise chains. It enables developers working with older JavaScript environments or build systems to use modern async/await code while maintaining compatibility with ES6-only runtimes. The tool targets JavaScript developers who need to transpile contemporary async patterns down to Promise-based code for broader browser or environment support.

Nub – A Bun-like all-in-one toolkit for Node.jsJun 2026 · github.com · ▲277Colin here, creator of Nub. I’ve had the general shape of this in mind for years. Nub runs your code with stock `node`, augmented with a `--require` preload hook[0] that adds a transpiler (oxc-powered, packaged as a Node-API add-on), registers a module resolution hook[1], and injects polyfills as needed for APIs like `Worker`, `Temporal`, etc. All purely additive, your code ultimately runs using Node’s actual engine & stdlib implementations.
