This might seem weird if you were outside the loop at the time and don't realize how succesful it was, but the fact that ES6 got so many cool features was directly due to CoffeeScript's success. If ES6 wouldn't have those features, people would not have switched from CoffeeScript back to pure Javascript. And the success of Typescript shows that they still have to move quickly to keep pure Javascript relevant.
