Neither async/await nor decorators are part of ES6 (which is more properly called ES2015). Almost all major browsers support ES2015. A few recent versions support async/await, now that it's expected for that syntax to be a pa

Boston's space like this (The Lawn on D) is extremely popular. It's even a running joke that most young people on a dating site/app in Boston have a picture of them at the Lawn on D somewhere in their profile. I believe it&#x

I'd assume the main goal of the open-source Parse Server is to provide some support for previous users of Parse? Who would already know what Parse does. Attracting new users unfamiliar with the technology seems at best secondary ( and
