Minify (not transpile) ES2015 code with Gulp

Question

How to minify ES2015 code without transpiling it to ES5? The popular gulp-minify and gulp-uglify modules do not work with simply minifying ES2015 code.

Answer 1

Currently, the only way to minify ES2015 with gulp is to use gulp-babel which will transform ES2015 to "traditional" Javascript and then use gulp-uglify and gulp-minify.
