Comment on A re-introduction to JavaScriptparent

Comments

Honestly, I'm more excited about some of the ES7 features at this point... I've given in, as much as I dislike transpiling, and using BabelJS for most of my new development, server and client-side.

On the server-side async/await are worth their weight in gold... and using lambdas is very nice. I still don't like the ES6 module syntax over node/commonjs require statements though.

The only thing to be really mindful of is when you browserify for the client that you don't accidentally include, for example the entire crypto library, buffer or similar shims because they can get very big, very quickly.
