Courses Plus Student 21,100 PointsI'm almost in the same position as you, I'm seeking to learn about the newest technologies concerning JS and I'm not so sure about where to start, at least for ES6, TypeScript and Babel. For what I've seen, ES2015 is a really great update. Some troubles that I've had and it solves is including external files into a JS document. Like what you do with SCSS.
Other changes that I've heard but I don't fully understand YET are promises.
About TypeScript what I've heard so far is that it allows you to specify the variables types, and this makes is supposed to make the programs faster to compile.
What I do know for a FACT is that Angular 2 uses TypeScript, it makes it optional as Bootstrap gives you the option to use SCSS or Vanilla CSS.
