Example of ES6 classes

	// ES5
	var DJ = (function() {
	function MyConstructor(name) {
	this.name = name;
	}

	MyConstructor.prototype.speak = function speak() {
	console.log(this.name + ' is spinning some tunes.');
	}

With ES6 we don't have to do more nesting concatenation

	// ES5
	var first = 'Forrest';
	var last = 'Brownlie';
	console.log('My name is ' + first + ' ' + last + '.');
	// My name is Forrest Brownlie

	// ES6
	const firstName = 'Forrest';
	const lastName = 'Brownlie';
	console.log(`My name is ${firstName} ${lastName}`);
