Yes, definitely there are plans. Coincidentally I have been working on this
off and on for the last few days. Here is the bug report with the
discussion: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742249

If anyone has experience using the SpiderMonkey JSAPI from C++, we could
use some help; moving the GJS internal API from pointers to rooted GC
objects will be a pretty massive undertaking.

In the meantime if you want to use ES6 features I would use jsgtk as a
transpiler as Andrea suggests.
