Hi,

Unfortunately, I cannot comment on whether or not this will be added.

You can follow our blog for any announcements regarding this support.

Now, nearly 3 years later, there are still no plans to use a newer ECMA version? That's really disappointing.

Hi Timo,

ES6 syntax is still not supported in scripts. However, I can send a feature request for ES6 support. 

Thanks,

Hi, 

I can recommend setting up a local environment with node and webpack that transpiles into ES5. We do it for some larger projects which makes it easier to write/maintain tests & separating code into modules. 

I'm not arguing with the initial request, Native ES6 support would be great but in the meantime there are workaround with benefits.
