Do we really need Babel?
I would need to look closer but do we really need Babel as dependency? We aren't using JSX or any other crazy features. Is it possible to drop this?
Possibly not, we are on Node v18.17.1 with NPM 9.6.7 on Ubuntu 22.04.4 on the server if you want to test removing it.
I tried out removing babel from the files and I'm pretty sure my method was not very clean so might have to fix that but as far as I can tell when I launched it on docker it instantly started the server instead of taking some time and there are no bugs as far as I can see so I might send a PR in a bit but I'm going to test it a bit more first
ok so I reset it and removed the packages properly and only 2 modules of babel are actually needed as dependencies but after I removed the others I see this message in the get involved page
pretty sure this is the only problem I'm running this through docker on Fedora 42 in firefox and I did not notice the performance improvement this time so it must have been because I removed another module the last time I tested if anyone knows why this happens let me know I think we can run the website without most of babel
Sorry I sent the wrong PR thought this was a different issue let me send up the correct one
