ES6 Overview repository is an extensive written overview of ECMAScript 6 (ES2015), summarized in roughly 350 bullet points. It condenses a long article series into a single document that walks through the most important syntax changes and language features introduced in ES6. Topics include block-scoped declarations (let, const), arrow functions, classes, modules, destructuring, rest/spread, template strings, iterators, generators, maps/sets, promises, and more. Each section gives short, practical bullet points that highlight what the feature is, how it compares to older patterns, and why it matters for real-world code. The document links out to longer, in-depth articles for readers who want to dive deeper into a particular topic, but stands alone as a quick reference or crash course in modern JavaScript. It’s particularly useful for developers coming from ES5 who want to update their mental model and code style without reading a full book.
