The sixth version of ECMAScript (called ES6 or ES2015) has now been finalized and we'll be taking advantage of the new features+syntax available. Since not all browsers support the new standard (yet) we'll be using Babel as a transpiler. This allows us to write future-proof code, that will still work today.
