Moving to ES6 from CoffeeScript

I fell in love with CoffeeScript a couple of years ago. Javascript has always seemed something of an interesting curiosity to me and I was happy to see the meteoric rise of Node.js, but coming from a background of Python I really preferred a cleaner syntax.

In any fast moving community it is inevitable that things will change, and so today we see a big shift toward ES6, the new version of Javascript.

Note: this guide is a work-in-progress and will be added to the Polymer docs when it's ready. We have updated <seed-element> to include unit tests and this guide has been moved to Google docs. Expect a version on the Polymer site before the end of September.

After spending days working on your <super-awesome> Polymer element, you’re finally ready to share it with the rest of the world. You add the code for using it to your demo, iterate on it over time and come back to it one day when..uh oh. The demo broke because something has gone horribly wrong. Suddenly, <super-awesome> isn’t starting to look so great. Now you’re stuck trying to backtrack through your commit log to figure out how you broke the code. You’re not going to have a fun time.

If you’ve been working on the front-end for a while, even if you haven’t really played with Polymer elements before, this s

ACL / Roles + Permissions

https://github.com/djvirgen/virgen-acl Simple and elegant, create your own checks. No middleware?

https://github.com/OptimalBits/node_acl Use as middleware, create your own roles and access. Great choice.

https://github.com/tschaub/authorized Similar to connect roles... but a bit more robust? you can create roles and action, and associate many roles with that action

High level style in javascript.

Opinions are like assholes, every one has got one.

This one is mine.

Punctuation: who cares?

Punctuation is a bikeshed. Put your semicolons, whitespace, and commas where you like them.
