Use ES6 and core-js with Babel

[serapath]

The boilerplate uses express, but could use koa instead. Or at least babelify could be used as a browserify transform to already teach some es6 features?

• const, let
• destructuring
• default, rest, spread
• arrows
• enhanced object literals
• tail calls

I'm cool with ES6 / babelify.

KOA is not ready for wide-scale production use by virtue of the fact that it requires Node 0.11x or io.js, which both need a little more time to bake before we flock to them for prod use-cases.

I wouldn't mind that, but I'm currently using this boilerplate for production apps.

Now I've had some time to think about it, I have a good idea how to do the ES6 conversion.

See How to Use ES6 for Isomorphic JavaScript Apps for details.

Please use the prod-module-boilerplate as a guide to set up the build system and npm scripts.
