No, React was announced in May of 2013, and ES6 wasn't finalized until a couple years later.

FWIW, we specifically recommend that most folks should _not_ learn Redux until they're already comfortable with React. In fact, the new "Redux Essentials" [0] and "Redux Fundamentals" [1] core docs tutorials specifically say "we assume you know React already" as a prerequisite. (And yes, I really wish bootcamps didn't throw devs straight into Redux, but I understand why that happens. That's a large part of why I just rewrote our tutorials.)
