- What is
ES6?
ECMAScript is the proper name for JavaScript, and ES6 is the newest version of the language.
- What is Transpilation and how does it relate to
ES6?
Transpilation is the conversion of code from one version or language to another at a similar level of abstraction, and it is relevant to ES6 because browsers do not immediately transition to new versions of code, and ES6 will have to be transpiled to ES5 in order to work in current browser versions.

ES5and if it seems useful/superfluous.
