    ES6, also known as ECMAScript 6, introduces many new features to JavaScript to improve its functionality and ease of use. It adds features like arrow functions, let and const variables, classes, and modules. However, full support of ES6 is not yet available in browsers, so a tool like Babel must be used to compile ES6 code into a backwards compatible version of JavaScript that will run in any browser. Babel is installed via Node.js and NPM and then used from the command line to compile ES6 code into regular JavaScript.
