Re: Update spidermonkey version

Yes, definitely there are plans. Coincidentally I have been working on this off and on for the last few days. Here is the bug report with the discussion: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742249

If anyone has experience using the SpiderMonkey JSAPI from C++, we could use some help; moving the GJS internal API from pointers to rooted GC objects will be a pretty massive undertaking.

In the meantime if you want to use ES6 features I would use jsgtk as a transpiler as Andrea suggests.

You might want to give jsgtk a try, it transpire via babel standalone ES6 features on the fly, and it makes you extend native Gtk classes with ease.

Notes about latest meeting suggest they are deciding which version should they include and how they can keep current underlying logic working (the old Mootools style-like lang.Class thing)

Hi,

I am developing a small project with GJS, I have been following the project for a while. 

Are there plans to update spidermonkey so we can make use of ES6 features (and improved performance) ?

Thanks for your information
