I'm currently building a rather large isomorphic React/Flux application in ES6 and ES7.

With our Flux implementation that we're using[0], async actions to external services become amazingly simple.

  async sendRequest(payload) {
      try {
          let result = await this.api.sendRequest(payload);
          return await result;
      } catch (e) {
          if (e.name === 'ServerException') {
              this.errorActions.serverError(e);
              return null;
          }
          
          this.errorActions.genericError(e);
          return null;
      }
  }

Having a class system on top of prototype system, removing a lot of the boilerplate is great. Browserify/CommonJS and Babel make for a phenomenal build system, and being able to with few exceptions render everything on the server correctly is brilliant.

Javascript has come a long way. The best part of destructuring is simplifying `import` statements

  import { fooFunc } from './Bar';

I highly recommend checking it out, as the confluence of ES6/7, Babel, React and Flux (with one way data-flow) feels like the future but here today. That, and I'm stoked that functional programming concepts are taking off!
