JavaScript! Do you love it? Do you hate it? Sometimes JavaScript and especially the latest JavaScript frameworks remind me of our current presidential race. Pushing this analogy to its limit – in the JavaScript framework world – which framework would be the equivalent of Trump? What about the Hillary one? Or the Bernie one?
Of course, I’m kidding because it’s all fun/sad melodrama. What’s not melodramatic is the fact the ECMAScript 6 aka ES6 is here. It’s not fully adopted by by everyone, but we’re getting there. Some neat articles about ES6:
- An excellent summary of ES 6 features (via the JavaScript Weekly newsletter): http://kamranahmed.info/blog/2016/04/04/es6-in-depth/
-
Nicholas Zakas writes an interesting (short) post about the subtlety of ES6 module loading (I’m a big fan of Nicholas because he’s a highly meticulous and opinionated software guy; I’m looking forward to reading his ES 6 book): https://www.nczonline.net/blog/2016/04/es6-module-loading-more-complicated-than-you-think/
