"New Features in JavaScript (ECMAScript 6 and 7)" by Geoff Filippi

New ES (http://stackoverflow.com/a/28389178/1799408)6 and ES7 features are landing in NodeJS v4.0.0. This talk, by Geoff Filippi (https://www.linkedin.com/in/geofffilippi/), will compare and contrast what is now natively available in the NodeJS runtime, with and without the harmony flag. Transpilers allow us to use additional new features by converting the new feature to older JavaScript that runs in current browsers. We will also discuss ES6 and 7 support in various transpilers. Finally, we will demonstrate setting up and using the Babel.js transpiler in a build system.
