JS / ES6 / ES7 Workflow Ideas

I'm trying to figure out a good workflow to write code using all the fancy new features of ES6 and ES7, because ES5 (and even ES6) are a bit confining. Maybe I'll redo my personal website if I find a workflow that I like.

Also, note that this is a first pass; I'm not sure what I'm going to do long-term.

Do you have a suggestion? Do you already have a fantastic ES6 / ES7 workflow? Please let me know by filing an issue!

What I'm currently doing

• Hoping those cool ES7 features I love won't go away.
• Compiling my source with Grunt and Babel via the grunt-babel plugin to ES5.

Eg.

• edit src/index.js
• grunt && node build/sourcemaps (stack traces use sourcemaps)
• grunt && node build/index (stack traces don't use sourcemaps)

Files of note

• src/index.js - the main entry point for this module.
• src/sourcemaps.js - this file first enables sourcemaps via the source-map-support npm module, and then imports (and exports) src/index.js. This is useful for debugging while in development.
