Upgrade to ES6?

[frankandrobot]

The library is really awesome but I've noticed you guys are re-inventing the wheel in some places (for example, Q.Class.extend). Also, everything is a global which makes it hard to put classes in separate modules (files).

Have you guys thought about upgrading to ES6 or at least to AMD-style modules?

This could be interesting, indeed.
But we would have to check the compatibility issues, as some browsers don't fully comply to the ES2015 norm.
I'm sure some work-arounds exist, but will they be worth it?
I'll let the others explain their points of view…

I think this would make absolutely sense for development.
At the end as of now the whole thing will be transpiled to es5 anyways so
we dont have any browser compatibility issues.

Agreed. Ideally we would write es6 classes and then transform our code into es5 using Babel in our build process.
