In a new blogpost, Evan You, the creator of Vue, outlines the changes and new features coming to the next major release of Vue.
There are greatly improved tools that could enhance our workflow, and many new language features that could unlock simpler, more complete, and more efficient solutions to the problems Vue is trying to solve. What’s more exciting is that we are seeing ES2015 support becoming a baseline for all major evergreen browsers. Vue 3.0 aims to leverage these new language features to make Vue core smaller, faster, and more powerful.

Bram Van Damme, who runs the excellent bram.us blog recently gave a talk at the Frontend United 2018 conference on what will be coming to JavaScript in the next few years.
With ES2015 a lot has changed in JavaScript-land. Lesser known releases are the ES2016 and ES2017 releases. This talk not only touches these two new releases, but also looks forward at what’s to come next for JavaScript (ES2018 and more).
You'll find the videos of the other talks at Frontend United in this playlist on YouTube.
It’s hard to keep track of what’s new in JavaScript (ECMAScript). And it’s even harder to find useful code examples. So in this article, I’ll cover all 18 features that are listed in the TC39’s finished proposals that were added in ES2016, ES2017, and ES2018 (final draft) and show them with useful examples.

On the .dev blog Jacob Bennett shared some nice refactorings using arrow functions.
Recently when refactoring a Vue 1.0 application, I utilized ES6 arrow functions to clean up the code and make things a bit more consistent before updating to Vue 2.0. Along the way I made a few mistakes and wanted to share the lessons I learned as well as offer a few conventions that I will be using in my Vue applications moving forward.

ECMAScript 6 is the upcoming version of the ECMAScript standard. This standard is targeting ratification in June 2015. ES6 is a significant update to the language, and the first update to the language since ES5 was standardized in 2009. Implementation of these features in major JavaScript engines is underway now.
Babel will turn your ES6+ code into ES5 friendly code, so you can start using it right now without waiting for browser support.https://babeljs.io/
