Animate CC JS ES6 support

Does Animate CC support ES6 JavaScript fully or just ES5?

Moreover, Joseph Labrecque, mentions in a 2016 article that Animate CC is a “language agnostic application”. However, I do not understand how that is the case since, if that is true, Animate CC should be able to support any version of JS, as soon as such a version became available. I am certainly not an expert but I do not think this is the case.

Please explain. Thanks.

I don't understand the question. Animate in HTML5 mode generates JavaScript code to run its animations. Why do you care what language features the generated code uses?

I was probably not clear enough. I am referring to the JS version I can use in Animate. So, can I use JS ES6 while developing in Animate?

Any code you type in the Actions window in an HTML5 Canvas document is passed straight through to the browser. Animate doesn't cross-compile it, optimize it, or touch it in any way.

So if you don't mind your pages crashing in 10% of all desktop browsers, sure, go nuts with ES6.
