I'm not on the Node team but I would assume that it would depend on what the V8 team decides to do since Node is basically a wrapper around V8 at the end of the day. If the V8 team decides to enforce ES6 only (unlikely) and not provide backward compatibility with ES5 then Node would most certainly be forced to go this route as well, that or fork and maintain their own version of the V8 core.
As ES6 is vastly different than ES5 it would seem more likely that a directive will be added (similar to that of "use strict") that would provide an indicator to the browser/javascript engine to switch into ES6 mode. A real trick to that flag though would have to be the ability for it to be queried thus allowing older (or non-ES6) browsers to prompt the user or fall back to a different code base. Course, as I said, I'm not a member of the Node Core nor am I a V8 developer, so my 2 cents is pretty much worthless :) - Jeremy On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 3:44 PM, Ep Ga <epg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Are you going to force user to use ES6?
