- A discussion of what ECMAScript 6 is should start…with a quick recap of the history of ECMAScript in general.…In 1995, JavaScript was originally created by Brendan Ike…at Netscape and then was adopted by Microsoft as JScript.…With different versions of a language…for different browsers, there were soon an urgent need…to standardize the language.…ECMA, or the European Computer Manufacturer Association,…is the governing body that provides…the ECMAScript specifications…for JavaScript browser implementations.…
Shortly after its foundation,…the ECMAScript 1 spec was released in 1997.…Following this, the release of ECMA 2 and ECMA 3…came out very quickly.…EMCA 4 was much argued about, but then was eclipsed…by ECMA 5 in 2009, which brought us new array methods,…like for each, map, and filter.…As of June 2015, we now have an official spec…for ECMAScript 6, so what does this mean for us…as JavaScript developers?…It means that we now have a ton of new options to work with…when designing our JavaScript projects.…
We have new keywords available for declaring variables,…
