Hi everyone,
I was wondering, are there any plans to upgrade to ES6? As far as I know, you already have Grunt to transpile the code using babel.
In case you are planning to upgrade, how can we help?
Best,
David.
Hi @ddazal,
Welcome to the RStudio Community 
Even though we are thrilled to have you here, it seems that you may be asking your question in the wrong forum. This forum is dedicated to the use of R and RStudio. It is true that many people here are also proficient in JavaScript and they may help you; however, there is no guarantee.
Hi @gueyenono,
Thank you for the welcome!
I was going to open an issue on Shiny's Github repo and since is not related to a bug or a feature I came here. If this isn't the appropriate forum where should I open a discussion about this?
Oh! I did not realize that this was tagged with Shiny. What ES6-specific code did you try to run with no success? Could you provide a reproducible example?
Seems like I wasn't clear 
I want to know the roadmap to upgrade all Shiny's javascript to ES6 and how can I help. I'm proficient in JS but I don't want to start sending pull request without knowing the priorities of the Shiny's core dev team.
Yes, I understood that. My question was did you use ES6 inside a shiny app which did not work?
Oh, I use ES6 in every Shiny app when possible and fortunately they all work.
I just want Shiny to have a modern, more readable javascript codebase, and jquery free as possible 
Okay, I understand it better now. Unfortunately, this is not going to happen anytime soon. However, I am not speaking on behalf of the Shiny team. Also, as a JS user, you know full well that keeping up with the language is nigh impossible. There's always going to be a new ES every year lol
I see, that's a shame
