Is there current roadmap to upgrade the platform to ES6, or 7?   I know Helsinki upgraded it to ES5.

Hi Sebastian,



Nothing in Kingston - I would have heard something at this point. I haven't heard about London features yet. Perhaps this spring.



Is there something specific you need from ES6 or ES7 that makes a compelling argument?


Hi Chucks,



thanks for your reply.



There is nothing I really need but functional programming has some nice features in ES6.


E.g. Arrow functions - JavaScript | MDN


any updates? 

Lambdas.  'Nuff said.

BTW, I want ALL of this implemented!!!!!  http://es6-features.org  🙂

And the latest Rhino would be useful as well: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Rhino

And the latest Prototype.js to?  http://prototypejs.org/

I keep having to program the LONG way, and around stuff where these really really useful latest updates to the foundation would be exceedingly helpful.  You know: Save development and maintenance time and effort.  Stuff like that?

Newer, in this case, is waaaaay better.  It has been a long time now since we were updated to ECMA 5.  BTW, I know that parts of the platform use bits of ECMA 6.  Let's make it everything!

Steven.

String templates would be nice to have
