Should we target ecmascript 6?

[Dusty Phillips]

Hey all,

I was just reviewing http://brendaneich.github.com/Strange-Loop-2012/#/
and ecmascript 6 appears to look a lot like "python with braces". That's
not as good as "python" but it's a lot better than "javascript" and a
million times better than coffeescript, which I consider to be very evil
indeed.

This tells me that it would be a lot easier to translate python to ecma6
than ecma5. In turn, that means it would be easier to implement pyjaco
for ecmascript6.

Further, at the rate of non-development we're going right now,
ecmaScript 6 reference implementations will probably be quite complete
by the time we get to the hard part. ;-)

http://code.google.com/p/traceur-compiler/ and
https://github.com/ariya/esprima may allow us to start testing early.

When is the start planned? Wikipedia doesn't know!
Is ecmascript 6 backwards compatible?

But I think the current version will still be around for some decades,
and there are also other software despite browsers the use ecmascript.

So i would say targeting for the new one is too early.
But this is just my opinion, since I'm not a core developer,
there are others,who have to decide this.

I think its posible to look at it, but untill its standardised and are solid there is no way we could keep up with both it and aure project to change.
