With something like Babel, we should be able to transpile from JS 2 to JS 1 for backward compatibility. We are already doing it from ES6/ES7 to ES5.

That definitely sounds significantly better than a new MIME type. Although two thoughts I have are: - How are you going to deal with scenarios that don't have extensions, e.g. REPL or inline JS. - Are extensions going to be released often, or is this going to be a one time thing? For example, would we increment the version number with the current JS version (js6, js7 etc) and if so, would it make more sense to start on js7 instead of js2? <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> Virus-free. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> www.avg.com
