Why ES4?
- fix bugs in ES3, which has been frozen for 8 years
- help meet needs of developers working at scale (code size, programmer count, long-lived services)
- take advantage of lessons from a decade of developers working with JS
- import features that worked, from descendent (AS3, JScript 8, etc.) and distinct (Python, Lisp) languages
