Problem is that Babel creates near-unreadable code.

ES6 supports destructuring:

// old:
var injectIntl = require('reactl-intl').injectIntl;
// new:
var { injectIntl } = require('reactl-intl');

Requires the extra –harmony_destructuring flag though.

Function methods of objects are a lot nicer now:

// old:
var View = injectIntl(React.createClass({
    ...
    getInitialState: function() {
        ...
    }
    ...
});
// new:
var View = injectIntl(React.createClass({
    ...
    getInitialState() { // no more "function"
        ...
    }
    ...
});

snip

We are starting to use ES6 modules in a few new projects and that style will likely make it back to the scratch-www repo in the near future. For now, we'd prefer that you stick with the coding convention we have established. Using ES6 modules with Babel requires some changes to our build process and thus would require quite a bit of additional testing and QA.

function foo(a, [b, c]) {
  console.log(b);
  console.log(c);
}
 
function bar({a, b}) {
  console.log(a);
  console.log(b);
}
 
foo(42, [1, 2]);
bar({a: "foo", b: "bar"});
