_From @edemaine on [2017-03-19 16:09](https://github.com/coffeescript6/discuss/issues/76)_
I'm no expert on Babel, but I saw [this comment](https://github.com/coffeescript6/discuss/issues/12#issuecomment-287604440) by @ArmorDarks:
> I think this won't be an issue at all if CS could be transpiled through Babel. Really, this is one of reason we're leaving CS — it is *so damn hard* to integrate into nowadays JS pipelines.
Is it feasible / interesting to make CoffeeScript 2 into a Babel [syntax plugin](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/#syntax-plugins)?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked Babel syntax-plugin documentation and the referenced discussion comments about CoffeeScript integration. Determine whether the proposal is feasible and what a CoffeeScript 2 Babel integration would need to provide; done would require a documented feasibility conclusion and an agreed implementation scope.
