I&#x27;m a JavaScript newbie - the precise reason I choose ES2015 is because I am a newbie.<p>A modern language has features that make things easier for newbies.  Modern should equal sensible, not incomprehensible.<p>Consider for example the module and import system - this dramatically reduces the complexity of the overall application and allows it to be structured in a modular and well organised manner.  That makes things easier, not harder and more complex.
