‘Netflix for Open Source’ Wants Developers to Get Paid

Henry Zhu makes software that’s crucial to websites you use every day, even if you’ve never heard of him or his software.

Zhu manages a program called Babel, which translates code written in one version of the programming language JavaScript into code written for another version of the language. That might not sound like a big deal. But because not all browsers support the latest version of JavaScript, Babel lets programmers use JavaScript’s latest features without worrying about which browsers will run the code. It’s useful enough that it’s been adopted by companies like Facebook, Netflix, and Salesforce.
