JavaScript in 2016
summary
Strong recommendation to start using ECMAScript 2015 now: most features already ship in Chrome/Firefox or compile with Babel, and modular imports are static for optimizer-friendly builds. Covers arrow functions preserve this and concise returns, destructuring plus spread/rest for argument handling, WeakMap-based private fields and classes as runtime sugar, iterators/generators (Fibonacci example) that create lazy sequences, Promise.all for parallel requests and the upcoming async/await for linear async code, and advice to consider TypeScript or Flow for static typing.
