Yes, a lot of the new features are very "about time" but that doesn't remove the excitement to now have them as a part of JavaScript.
'this' without arrow functions is currently a huge source of confusion. I feel like the arrow functions will help to alleviate a lot of that confusion.
- joeax 11y agoMy biggest excitement is that in the past few years JavaScript is now regarded as a first class language, and we're seeing these new versions i.e ES 5,6,7 in a rapid development cycle. I remember being told in the 2000-2002 era that JS was a kiddle language and it was worthless on a resume.
