ES2015: Using tomorrow's JavaScript today!
summary
Quick tour of ES2015 with working live code: uses Babel 6 to transpile modern syntax to ES5, warns that you must pick feature sets, and reports no major transpilation failures in demos. Shows concrete examples that run: let/const scoping, template literals, Object.assign shallow merges, rest/spread, Array.from, Map/Set, promises, classes, and React component imports using destructuring. Demonstrates a login module where modules are stateful (single shared instance) and explains that arrow functions bind this lexically. Notes small gotchas like default-parameter behavior with null vs undefined.
