ES6
  • What is ES6?
    • ES6 is the latest version of ECMAScript, and javascript is an implementation of ECMAScript. ES6 added several new features, such as classes and modules, as well as iterators and collections.
  • What is Transpilation and how does it relate to ES6?
    • Transpilation is the process of converting code from one language to another that has a similar level of abstraction. Babel transpilers will transpile ES6 to ES5 so that it will work in current browsers.
  • Looking at the ES6 Features link below, discuss one update from ES5 and if it seems useful/superfluous,
    • Template strings allow for the use of string interpolation and multiline strings with backticks. This does not seem superfluous as it it helps prevent injection attacks.
