While both environments are very similar, you may end up hitting some inconsistencies. We're likely going to experiment with other JS engines in the future, so it's best to avoid relying on specifics of any runtime.
## JavaScript Transforms
## JavaScript Syntax Transformers
React Native ships with many JavaScript transforms to make writing code more enjoyable. If you are curious, you can see the [implementation of all those transformations](https://github.com/facebook/jstransform/tree/master/visitors). Here's the full list:
Syntax transformers make writing code more enjoyable by allowing you to use new JavaScript syntax without having to wait for support on all interpreters.
As of version 0.5.0, React Native ships with the [Babel JavaScript compiler](https://babeljs.io). Check [Babel documentation](http://babeljs.io/docs/advanced/transformers/) on its supported transformations for more details.
Here's a full list of React Native's [enabled transformations](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/packager/transformer.js#L21).
