Not to mention that you still have the option of using vanilla ES5 as long as you like (and it's what I'm doing until I can move to a VS version with built-in TypeScript/ES6/JSX support). That's one of the best things about working with JavaScript: nobody is going to stop supporting the older version anytime soon.

And great work, this is very exciting news.

That's true. I literally have 15 year old JS that still runs. It's not pretty, but it still works as expected.
