So, what's in this fancy new language?
Classes, modules, array comprehension, generators, iterators, promises, tail call optimization,
proxies, string interpolation, unicode support, maps, sets, symbols, new APIs for primitive types, binary and octal literals, slides with too many words on them…
Firming up the foundation of the language.
let's have a little talk about var.

Turing students ask: “Hey Steve, what's your least favorite thing
about writing JavaScript?”
I hate string concatenation with the fiery passion of a
thousand burning suns.

In ES6, we get arrow functions.

What's the point of multi-line arrow functions if I need
to return stuff? What gives?
Arrow functions also lexically bind this.
Let's do some refactoring.

What about inheritance?

There is still a bit more refactoring that we can
do here.
