# The module syntaxĮS6 introduces syntax for defining modules and declaring dependencies. To incentivize developers to upgrade, new languages or frameworks need to (1) feature a compelling compatibility story and (2) give you a big enough carrot. Instead of making a thorough review of all the new features, I’ll point out the most interesting ones. I call that a victory for making things and trying them out. ES6 has been able to adopt a lot of CoffeeScript’s great innovations in a non-disruptive way, to such an extent that some have even questioned its role moving forward.įor all intents and purposes, JavaScript has merged CoffeeScript into master. This should be fairly obvious to you if you’ve been using CoffeeScript, which set out to focus on the good parts of JS and hide the broken ones. More importantly, however, it’s reaffirmed my belief in an evolutionary approach towards language and software design as opposed to clean-slate recreation. It’s expected to be completed and published mid-2015.Īdopting ES6 has simultaneously resulted in increased productivity (by making my code more succinct) and eliminated entire classes of bugs by addressing common JavaScript gotchas. As of August 2014 no new features are being discussed, but details and edge cases are still being sorted out.
The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.įor the past few months I’ve been exclusively writing ECMAScript 6 code by taking advantage of transpilation to a currently supported version of JavaScript.ĮCMAScript 6, henceforth ES6 and formerly ES.next, is the latest version of the specification.
