I don't see why everyone is so defensive about languages, though. C# can achieve parity with ES6 in some ways, and ES6 can achieve parity with C# in others. It doesn't necessarily imply that the developers of one language were cribbing notes from another. It's just a happy thing that some of my favorite features are seeing more widespread adoption between languages. With my original comment, I was trying to imply that the context in which you read about languages (e.g. which languages you are the most familiar with) can color how you perceive the news. Sadly I feel like everyone read it as an indictment against C# or something. Anyway, my bad for mistakenly calling you out. It's a bit of a reflex after seeing so many people try to claim that their language is superior.
