ECMA 6 JavaScript, the Good Parts
summary
ES2015 features get practical details: const creates an immutable binding (object properties stay mutable), lexical this from arrow functions removes most need for .bind, default parameters accept functions, template strings allow multi-line interpolation, destructuring extracts object keys into local variables, the rest parameter collects remaining args into an array and the spread operator expands arraysinto arguments or concatenates shallow copies, and async/await pauses inside an async function while awaiting a Promise.
