JS/TS support is flaky and unmaintained

Hi,

Thanks for your work on this.

I am facing a compile error while building the database which crashes the process for a javascript and typescript project.

any pointers on how to solve this? I reckon it's because of the babel version in starscope?

This is quite possible. The last time I looked at stuff like this there were a bunch of issues in the ruby community with various projects (like babel-transpiler gem) being abandoned and no clear path forward for parsing modern JS. I don't have time to dig into this myself right now, but if there's a new gem version or an entirely new gem or something to migrate to, I'm happy to take PRs or suggestions.

With my limited search, I couldn't find any alternative yet as I am not much into the ruby universe. Alternatively, we could look at babel as a third-party dependency that must be downloaded separately for starscope to work (until an suitable alternative to babel-transpiler is found) with modern JS?
