Whats New in ES2016 (ES7)

I&#x27;m just glad that most current browsers support all of ES2015, as it allows for much smaller bundles for them... I&#x27;m probably still going to need webpack+babel for a bit though, as I&#x27;ve been using async&#x2F;await for a while. Though at least regenerator isn&#x27;t needed in most places.<p>Beyond this, read this morning about F#&#x27;s pipe forward&#x2F;backward operators, and that combined with the the F# composition operators would be a really nice addition to ES.

&gt;However, the most significant aspect of ES7 to me is it&#x27;s conciseness. There was no attempt to cram in a load of functionality just for the sake of it.<p>No, ES6 crammed in three years of long needed JS upgrades into one huge package.
