thescientist Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm pumped. I've been following it for a little while, and have also been reviewing and slowly adding TypeScript to some of my projects, so the sooner the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I don't think any browser will be making massive changes to their Javascript engines all at the same time. I figure they'll go adding one feature at a time. We won't be able to use them for a while since Internet Explorer still has catching up and people never upgrade their browsers. It's good that many of these features help to make the scripts more efficient and provide functionality that more low level languages already have. A lot of this document is explaining features that Javascript already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 As I understand it some people are using "transcompilers" to write ES-6 code now. These accept ES-6/ES-2015 code and convert it into ES-5 code. Some of the JS Lint utilities also accept and check ES-6/ES-2015 syntax.
