ES6 JavaScript Features

ES6, or ECMAScript 2015, significantly enhances JavaScript with features like let and const for better scoping, arrow functions for concise syntax, and template literals for easier string manipulation. It also introduces modules for code organization, promises for improved asynchronous handling, and classes for a more object-oriented approach. These updates make JavaScript more expressive, concise, and developer-friendly.
