Arrow functions, filter, map & reduce! ThingWorx 8.5 supports ES6 functional programming

I was on my way to test the ES6 features next week. Thanks for letting us know this!

 

Let me know what else you find... I just manually ran the examples from the first article to see if they worked.

 

I'm pretty happy to have "let" and "const" as well. I'll be switching my code to using those instead of "var".
