Why do they teach ES6 as something other than JavaScript?

When I saw that ES6 had been added to the JavaScript course I did not check it, since I had done both courses already. But I just came in and I found something totally different from what it should be. Why teach ES6 at the end, instead of teaching it in its corresponding block of the course, adding as part of JavaScript and not as something apart?

Ben Bright Yes, ES6, like ES7, ES8, etc. Is JavaScript, i don't know why SoloLearn teaches ES6 as a separate topic.

I presume you meant ES6. ES6 is not different from javascript. It's just an upgrade to the javascript core language. And since it's done yearly, we have ES6 (2015), ES7 (ES2016) , ES8 (ES2017) , ES9 (ES2018). All these specifications introduce new syntaxes, augment already quirk syntaxes and overall makes javascript feels very modern to work it. Hope it helps, happy coding...

const InvBoy = me; Oh ok, I didn't get it earlier. I guess it makes beginners feel welcomed.
