Hello,

I see that this feature was requested more than 3 years ago by other users. Are there any updates on this?

I am starting to use Khan Academy to teach Object Oriented Programming and ES6 has very different syntax for this.

Thank you,

Lyuba

Any update on this? The most modern iteration of JS came out years ago. VAR is gone. LET is in. I think the JS lessons need to reflect these changes so that users can learn on modern technology.

Please add this. I need destructuring

I am driven crazy by vars!

Another vote for ES6 support (more than just mentioning that it is ES6 restricted), especially arrow functions, const, let, and classes.

Also suggested: Add support as suggested by louiealmeda on Github

One more suggestion for a more advanced editor: allow bracketless if() statements for single-line statements, like other code editors.
