A summary of ECMAScript 6 features

Despite what people may say, ES6 is turning out to be a pretty great language all around. Type coercion is still pretty annoying and is there to stay, but the new features are all mostly well done.

Now if we can only get the bind operator [1] in a timely manner, everything will be awesome.

Hadn't seen that proposal before. It's definitely interesting.

My first impression is that it's kind of confusing to read, but I suspect I'd get used to it.

Sort of similar to some of the destructuring assignment stuff, e.g. `let { address: { street } } = user;`. Awkward at first, but now I'm kind of into it – although I still think people are likely to abuse it.
