I've tried to answer but I've got a filter notification due 40K+ chars (I guess I shouldn't have included the original message) so I'll reply again.

About node abstracting:

https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4765

Already working for Chakra:

https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore

There is a project from Mozilla too:

https://github.com/mozilla/spidernode#spidernode-nodejs-on-spidermonkey

About Babel, jsgtk already uses babel standalone to bring ES6 features in moz24.

If you want to play with it, install it via:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://webreflection.github.io/jsgtk/install)"

About classes, jsgtk already supports them out of the box.

Example:

```js

#!/usr/bin/env jsgtk

const Gtk = require('Gtk');

Gtk.init(null);

class HewlloWorld extends Gtk.Window {

    constructor() {

        super({

            title: 'jsgtk',

            type: Gtk.WindowType.TOPLEVEL,

            windowPosition: Gtk.WindowPosition.CENTER

        });

        this.once('show', () => {

            this.setKeepAbove(true);

            Gtk.main();

        })

        .on('destroy', Gtk.mainQuit)

        .add(new Gtk.Label({label: 'Hello jsGtk+'}));

        this.setDefaultSize(200, 80);

        this.showAll();

    }

}

new HewlloWorld();

```

Best Regards
