Remember when JavaScript meant clunky code and endless semicolons? Thankfully, those days are gone! ES6+ has arrived, bringing a toolbox of awesome features to make your code cleaner, meaner, and way more fun to write.

Want to level up your JavaScript game? Dive into these ES6+ features:

Arrow Functions: Write concise, one-line functions for cleaner code.

// Traditional function declaration
function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}

// Arrow function equivalent
const add = (a, b) => a + b;

Classes: Embrace OOP for better code organization and reusability.

class Person {
constructor(name, age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}

introduce() {
console.log(`Hi, I'm ${this.name} and I'm ${this.age} years old.`);
}
}

const person1 = new Person("John", 30);
person1.introduce(); // Output: Hi, I'm John and I'm 30 years old.

Destructuring: Extract data from arrays and objects easily.

const [first, second] = ["apple", "banana"]; // first = "apple", second = "banana"

const { name, age } = { name: "John", age: 30 }; // name = "John", age = 30
