Re: [aerogear-dev] Adding ES6 to node sender

+1 on ES6 features & Babel JS Do you plan to use ES6 promises or replacing the existing HTTP,HTTPS requests with something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/request-promise ?

I'd also like to see an AeroGear Sender "class" inside module by using ES6 class.
