Brilliant video
could you sound any more bored?
hmmm.. didn't work for me, it did create the main.js and main.js.map files in the dist/ folders but it didn't change the code except for adding some whitespace.
What made it work was to install 'babel-preset-es2015' and pass the '–presets=es2015' parameter to the babel command.

Wow, you kind of "blew by" the most important step, IMHO, running babel. But it's a good start.
What about TypeScript?
It's the preferred Compiler for Angular 2.0 (Under heavy development by Google and Microsoft now)
