title: Does it make sense to "compile" node project with grunt or gulp?
body: <p>I spent a lot of time to build a webtemplate (front-end) with a grunt file to "compile" the whole project and have an efficient code in production.</p>
  
  <p>Now that I am working on a back-end project (with node/express) i was wondering if it make sense to "compile" a node project ?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using ES6 syntax with Babel so i imagine that everytime i launch the project (node index.js or nodemon index.js) Babel transpile it in ES5 and then run it.</p>
  
  <p>I don't care if it's done at the beginning of the project and there is no impact once it has been launched. But i'm not sure.</p>
  
  <p>Does node read the whole program and "save" it into ram ? If so i imagine that it's not useful to concat/compile javascript file like we're used to with front-end.</p>
