Overview
As of #3038, --compilers
is deprecated and non-functional. I've yet to see anybody use it in any real projects. But the code still exists:
Lines 334 to 339 in e3da641
This is dead weight on the project. IMO there's no real need to keep it around given how it's been deprecated with a loud warning & migration docs (https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/wiki/compilers-deprecation) for 7 years.
Suggested Solution
I propose we remove it in a future major version, such as Mocha 12.
Alternatives
We could leave it in, but all it does now is throw createUnsupportedError
.
