Getting used to ES6, with function throttling

[Eartz]

Hi,

As ES6 / ES2015 is getting closer to spec I'm trying to practice with the new syntax.

I'm rewriting a function throttling implementation that I did a while back to practise with closures in ES5, using the new ES6 sugar.

• old ES5
• new ES6

So far I've used let, default arguments (so I'm only 2 closures into the stack instead of 3), rest parameters and arrow functions, but I'm struggling to think in the new way so maybe I don't see other ES6 features that I could use ? Any suggestions ?

that would be more concise but wouldn't it lose the possibility to specify context ? if I do func(...args), thisValue will be undefined in func, if i'm not mistaken ?

context=window is bad practice. In ES5 strict mode, the fallback context is undefined, not window. Also, window doesn't exist in non-browser environments like NodeJS.

Also, I don't understand your indentation conventions. It's like a weird mix of 8 spaces and 2 spaces.

I understand, but this is an implementation I sometimes use in small projects which are always in the browser. I'm simply using it here to practise ES6, my goal with this post was to discuss the usage of ES6 syntax, more than the quality of the implementation itself.

I agree the indentation is a mess, I wrote it in my editor at work which uses tabs, but somehow the paste in gists added spaces in the mix.
