Goals for ES6

1. Goal: Be a better language

   • Improve interoperation
     • The goal is: Improve interoperation, adopting de facto standards where possible. Examples are: Classes: are based on how constructor functions are currently used. Modules: picked up design ideas from the CommonJS module format. Arrow functions: have syntax that is borrowed from CoffeeScript. Named function parameters: There is no built-in support for named parameters. Instead, the existing practice of naming parameters via object literals is supported via destructuring in parameter definitions.
