Ecmascript 6 & UI5

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My question is-

What can we expect on SAPUI5/OpenUI5 front after Ecmascript 6 has become the standard for the web?

I hope we will see SAPUI5 in new WebAssembly project, javascript is pure hell.

The Web is getting its bytecode: WebAssembly | Ars Technica

From my perspective, ABAP is a significantly bigger hell than JavaScript

On a more serious note, the one single thing I consider a big drawback to JS is it's untyped nature... but that is something that is already being tackled by TypeScript. Unfortunately this isn't yet supported by UI5.

Nevertheless, since UI5 is HTML5 based, and the team working on it is also following the latest standard, I'm sure we will see ECMAScript 6 support too
