orijin20267y@leviathan07 it's a sloth;
so what's the language for the web in 2016? python, ruby, c#, java? -
orijin20267y@lig1 Sorry mate, but it is you that need a bit of reading 😃
The official name is "ECMAScript 2015 Language" and it's the 6th Edition of the ECMA-262 standard. There for two handy abbrevations: ES6 and ES2015.
However there is already 7th installation of the standard most notably introducing async/await functionality: "ECMAScript 2016". And ES2016 is popping up as the short name for this one.
While ES2016 and ES6 are not the same, ES2015 is exactly the same as the latter. -
orijin20267y@lig1 again, there was no rename. ECMAScript 2015 Language was up to recently reffered to as ES6 by people when ES2015 became more popular for the same language version.
And what is so shit about ES5? Besides nicer syntax, symbols, generators, typed arrays and some date/number/string functions, everything else was already possible.
I'm not saying ES6 doesn't introduce much needed improvements but ES5 wasn't shit. -
orijin20267y@DarkMukke so sorry to hear that :(
if you avoid getters and setters you can transpile it with babel for full ie8 support.
also classes with super need the loose option for pollyfills to work correctly in ie8 -
@orijin yeh i know, use poly fills the whole time, but sometimes i think why should i support all these IE people, do I really want them as my customers ?
