For those interested in JavaScript, check out what’s coming in the next version of the ECMAScript standard.

It’s awesome !

Too bad lots of browsers still don’t support it yet.

It doesn’t feel like the good ol’ JavaScript we’re all used to, but it’s definitely nice.

I recommend checking out Google’s Traceur Compiler
To quote from the readme

What is Traceur?
Traceur is a JavaScript.next-to-JavaScript-of-today compiler that allows you to use features from the future today. Traceur supports ES6 as well as some experimental ES.next features.

See it’s feature list

No, a traceur is one who practises parkour. They were supposed to use it for their funding project for DARPA.

That’s the meaning English speakers have given the word, that’s not exactly right in French.
