I've been using PyCharm and really liked it. Recently I switched to ES6 for my javascript code. But PyCharm doesn't seem to like it. For things like => or let it will report syntax error. I tried a lot of things like turning off all inspection and all my effort were in vain. I think I must be missing something silly because normally PyCharm is quite intelligent. What's the trick?
PyCharm version: 2016.1
END OF QUESTION
A bit of rant in the end: I'd really like to get this working. As a long time Vim user, I find it hard to configure Vim for dynamic language such as Javascript and keep making silly mistakes that's time consuming. I've tried VSCode and like the default behaviour but the Vim emulation is sh*t. JetBrain products has the best Vim emulation ever and to me that's a big selling point.

It is nearly identical to PyCharm and made by the same pany, but better suited for JavaScript. It supports the exact same plugins as PyCharm.

- I thought PyCharm professional version (trial atm) have all the Javascript support that WebStorm has? – lang2 Commented May 23, 2016 at 3:24
- @lang2 is right, if you are already using PyCharm, it has what's in WebStorm. I did a webinar for PyCharm on using it for frontend development. – Paul Everitt Commented May 23, 2016 at 11:16

Reset to default 12Just go to Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> Javascript and change "JavaScript language version" to ECMAScript 6
