Harmony... that's what the upcomming JS is called. It has some new syntax... and it's perl syntax... but does something totally different! So let me show you why I will be confused for the years to come:
These 2 things are equivalent:

people.map(function (person) { return person.age; }));  
people.map(person => person.age);

Why? Why a fat arrow... why not the other way? <=

Then there is let, which is similar to my but you seem to still be able to mix var in and create a scope mess...

They also use modules, with named import's (just like in perl you can require certain things from a pm).
And the templating... oh noes... the templating uses backtick/backquote... 
var name = 'John';  
var age = 29;  
return `My name is ${ name }, in a year I will be ${ age + 1 } years o
+ld`;
