Throughout the module (and your journey to Google enlightenment while working on IdeaBox2.0) you may notice a few different ways that JavaScript code is being written.

That might have something to do with something called ES6 and ES5

Fork this gist and answer the following questions:

What is ES6?

• ES6 is the latest release of JS language specifications that allow for number of new features to improve upon ES5.

What is Transpilation and how does it relate to ES6?

• Transpilation is the process of compiling ES6 code to become compatiable with browsers that only support ES5.
