Description

It would be nice if we could support the latest and greatest, including ES2016, CSS4, etc.

Some issues:

  • We can only support language versions that 100% of our linters support. This seems deeply difficult.
  • Ideally this is something that an instructor could turn on for their class, but right now there is no affordance for instructors to change Popcode’s behavior for their class. It’s not clear how that would work logistically.
