No Strings Attached: JavaScript without Webpack, Transpilers, or Frameworks

" summary

Demonstrates that ES2015+ features run natively so a jQuery app is rewritten to use let/const, classes, arrow functions, destructuring, spread/rest, fetch, async/await and native modules via script type="module"; builds a tiny confirm/ask app and a migrated users page that run in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. For IE11 the workflow uses Babel to transpile modules to AMD and polyfills and a no-module fallback that loads a RequireJS legacy bundle so one codebase serves modern browsers and IE successfully.
