Curious, Why does it matter to you?

On the Atom.io website https://atom.io/ it reads "A hackable text editor for the 21st Century". Well I can code in JavaScript 5 and 6. I love love it when a project sticks to web standard, and not have to worry about slangs I don't care about.

The same with JavaScript. Google Closure compiler and anyway most IDEs "understand" JavaScript too and catch bugs. JavaScript is dynamically typed not typeless.

I was surprised to see someone who cared what style of javascript a program is written in, especially if they aren't an active contributor. Maybe you are?
