Isn't ES6 backwards compatible?

  Sure, but the standard is going to influence the direction that the language evolves in, how most libraries are written and so on.

    I agree, it would be better if JavaScript was made even less human-friendly than it is now. This way the transpilation approach would become mainstream and people would get a real choice of language instead of an arithmetic average of language preferences. Thankfully, the Asm.js is making some important right steps in that direction - and boosting the performance as well!
