I found the following bundle for Javascript's rapidly approaching ES6 standard:
https://github.com/Benvie/JavaScriptNext.tmLanguage
I like that it phrases things as being for Textmate *and then *Sublime but the installation instructions are clearly Sublime centric. Anyway, just wondering if there is going to be anything official for ES6 coming soon. With transpilers reaching maturity the ability to program in ES6 has come so I think having a good answer to this language choice will be important.

Well, default JavaScript bundle already supports some of ES6 keywords. I doubt there’s any need in creating separate bundle for that. I’ll gladly contribute myself in my spare time when ES6 reaches its final state.
AFAIK lead TextMate developers don’t use themselves JavaScript much, so I doubt they’ll invest time in that, thought pull requests are always welcome and they always offer help.
I think building ES6 support directly into the existing bundle is great as long as it can be done without conflict. As for timing, the time is now ... for instance I am using EmberJS for frontend development where everything is written in ES6 now and transpiled back to ES5 before being sent to the browser. BTW, I was a bit surprised to hear that you feel that TextMate developers don't use JavaScript much ... what is this based on? JS is one of the most used languages these days (I saw some metric recently saying it was the *most *used) and beyond scale it has momentum too with NodeJS and it's unique role in the browser. Not saying that your supposition about JS and TM is incorrect but I just find it surprising. Do you think JS developers are primarily using Atom? Sublime? If so, why do you suppose this is?

I think he was just saying that the lead devs of the TextMate app are not using JS, and so they focus on other things first before implementing ES6.
