Oddly enough, JSC is never defined in the article. From elsewhere:

> WebKit’s JavaScript implementation, called JSC (JavaScriptCore), implements all of ES6.

That’s because it’s so awesome that it needs no definition.

That was the first thing I noticed too. Using it in the heading already hurts the eyes. Not getting it defined in the text is cruel. Why not just write it out: "JavaScriptCore"?
