I know about Fuse’s Javascript supports ES5.1, and will support ES6 later. Uno is good alternative for Javascript, But I want to use ES6 more fast. ---

Hi! Yeah, we are working on getting V8 support on Android - that’s the only missing piece 🙂 ---

Awesome. If Fuse support ES6, It will be more attractive than any javascript native app development framework. 😃 ---

Thought here (haven’t explore the framework much yet): Is it possible (possibly) to run the JS through a transpiler, like babel, for instance? ---

It is very easy to create a setup using babel as a transpiler. We do it on our project. Add a `build.bat` or `build.sh` file to the project: It typically looks like: `call babel *.js > ./JavaScript/Generated/JavaScript.js` Then you add `Generated/JavaScript.js` using `` Then add babel to the system and set up a Sublime Text 3 build: `npm install --global babel` (requires Node.js or npm installed on the system) Then go to: `Tools -> Build System -> New Build System` in Sublime Text 3. Add this on Windows: ```auto { "cmd": "build.bat", "working_dir": "$project_path", "windows" : { "shell": true } } ``` And on Mac: ```auto { "cmd": "./build.sh", "working_dir":"${folder}", "windows" : { "shell": true } } ``` Save. Then you press Command/Control-B to prebuild your JavaScript. ---

In addition to Cocporn’s method, you can do the `npm install -g babel`, and while developing, run: ```auto babel ./source-directory --out-dir ./compiled-directory --watch ``` You can also add some [optional transforms](https://babeljs.io/docs/advanced/transformers/) and things like that if the default Babel settings don’t offer the things you need. By default, Babel transpiles everything from _Stage 2_ and up, so if you want things like class properties, you need to enable them manually, by either adding `--optional es7.classProperties`, or by enabling the entire stage of proposals by adding `--stage 1`. [Flow type](http://www.flowtype.org) support is also built in in Babel as an optional transform; `--optional flow`. In case you get a larger bunch of options that you feel like you need to pass to Babel, consider adding a `.babelrc` file to your project. ---

Awesome, we might add some of this. I was surprised to see babel actually supports some features from ES7 also, like async/await (enabled by default). ---

So it’s been 8 months since the last comment, I was wondering what the progress is for es6 native support with the javascript VM with fuse? ---

If you are exporting to Android, you are using V8 and that will give you a lot of the ES6 syntax. If you export to iOS we have to use JavaScriptCore wich is far from done with adding ES6 features. So you need to use a transpiler like babel in that case. ---

Are the steps above still the suggested way to use ES6 with Fuse or will this change over time?
