Does anyone call it ES?

jallardice12y ago

What do you mean? ES6 is called ES6... what else can you call it, aside from Harmony?

unwind12y ago

Some call it JavaScript.

Javascript 2.0

Ecma Script is the official name, Javascript belongs to Oracle,but since they are not enforcing the trademark , I doubt anybody could get sued over this.

Combine this with arrow function syntax (which is already in Firefox):

    let square = x => x * x

And the next version of JavaScript is looking much more fun to work with!

Chrome also supports it if you enable Harmony

teamnyble12y ago

Really? I have harmony enabled in chrome://flags, but no arrow function syntax?

I didn't know js had a let statement.

Have a look at the previous instalment of the series: http://globaldev.co.uk/2013/09/es6-part-2/#let_declarations

It even works for argument lists too:

  function foo(a, { b: b, c: c }, [d, e]) {
     print (a, b, c, d, e);
  }
