get completed () Is "get" som es6 thing?

  It is actually ES5: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/get https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... In a nutshell: it is used for computed properties, which compute their value on 'get' operations instead of storing them.

  No, just not commonly used; getters and setters aren't terribly useful in a language that allows such easy direct modification of objects (as opposed to say Java)

    But transparent getters and setters can be used to emulate private or immutable properties: function Foo() { var _bar = 42; return { get bar() { return _bar; } } } var foo = Foo(); foo.bar /* 42 */ However the fact that you can transparently replace a simple property by a computed one (e.g. for backwards compatibility or to trigger side effects in observables) does make explicit, Java-style, getters and setters less useful.
