ECMAScript 6 Approved As New JS Standard
ECMAScript 6 (ECMAScript 2015) has been approved at this week's ECMA General Assembly meeting for becoming the latest standard edition of JavaScript.
ECMAScript 6 succeeds ECMAScript 5.1 from four years ago and is the first major JavaScript update since 1999. ECMAScript 6 brings support for classes and modules, iterators and for/of loops, Python-style generators, arrow functions, binary data, collections, proxies, and other features.
The new ECMAScript standard can be read via this PDF documentation coming in at 566 pages. Confirmation of the approval can be found via the ECMA International News.
Meanwhile ECMAScript 7 is currently being worked on in early form and is expected to feature promises/concurrency, math/number improvements, operator overloading, traits, pattern matching, and other additions.
