How does modern JavaScript help us write better code on the first try? Ready to say goodbye to "var," callbacks, and typing "then" all day? What are the benefits of new language features and are they worth the learning curve?

A straightforward talk for developers of all experience levels. With examples of each feature and its advantages. And cats.
