Things I like:

- Everything is an expression

- Async imports just work without thought

- Yaml-like object structuring

- JSX improvements

- Multi-line string literals without leading whitespace

Things I’m on the fence about:

- Pipe operators (better than .pipe I guess?)

- Pattern matching (love it in Scala and swift, but this doesn’t feel done right)

Things I loathe:

- Signifiant whitespace (removing brackets in general)

- Optional parentheses in function calls (a foot-gun in VB and Ruby)

- Splats in the middle of function definitions (I can’t imagine how this works with overload definitions)

Not a fan of YAML at all myself, but it's interesting that you like 'Yaml-like object structuring' yet then loathe 'Signifiant whitespace'? I mean that's basically YAML.
