OK, good to know. Does it make sense to normally refer to it as “JavaScript 2015”, then? > As for your concern about 2015 seeming old in 2016: **good**.

Even ignoring books, I don’t share that attitude: for programming languages, a slower pace is good. It took people a long time to get used to ES5 and ES 2015 will have many more new features. It will take time to: * Completely implement ES 2015 * Write proper material * Educate people * Establish modules (I’m seeing browser APIs based on promises, but none that are based on modules) Axel -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer a...@rauschma.de rauschma.de
