Currently, the engine has good ES5 support. However, for any real-world application having ES6 support is imperative.

The following features ought to be implemented:

  • Arrow functions (#26)
  • Default arguments (#26)
  • Spread arguments (#26)
  • ES6-style variable declarations (let and const) (#26)
  • Variable, parameter and assignment deconstructions (#28)
  • Object literal shorthands, methods and computed keys (#28)
  • Class definitions (#29 WIP)
  • Array deconstructors
  • Spread syntax in objects
  • Spread syntax in arrays
  • Spread syntax in calls (and dynamic argument count in calls)
  • Nullish coalescing operator and assignment (??)
  • Optional indexing (.?)
  • &&= and ||= operators (ES5 features that are missing)
  • Generator functions
  • new.target
  • Exponent operator
  • For-of loop
  • Optional parsing mode for ES module files

The following will NOT be implemented:

  • eval() - brings multiple complexities into the project, mostly with the resolution of variables in the runtime, for the benefit of a feature which is unsafe and has the better alternative of the Function constructor
  • Non-strict context (aka JS code will be compiled and run "use strict" implied)
