ES6 is better.

[edit] ES6 is definitely better than a swift kick in the groin. It is certainly better than the original version of javascript. And it is also better than a lobotomy.

ES6 is definitely a better Javascript. But whether it's better than other languages on the server (or desktop) side is the question. But maybe by ES10 it will be.

Better than....? A swift kick to the groin? Original Javascript? Lobotomies?

"Better" doesn't necessarily imply "Good".
