3FUNCTIONS
Functions are an important part of any programming language, and prior to ECMAScript 6, JavaScript functions hadn’t changed much since the language was created. This left a backlog of problems and nuanced behavior that made making mistakes easy and often required more code just to produce very basic behaviors.
ECMAScript 6 functions make a big leap forward, taking into account years of complaints and requests from JavaScript developers. The result is a number of incremental improvements that enhance ECMAScript 5 functions and make programming in JavaScript less error prone and more flexible.
