Podio Calculation Field JavaScript Version/spec
Hello everyone, I would like to use the calculation fields to their fullest extent but I would like to know if the information in this post from three years ago is still true. Stefan mentioned in his answer here that Podio was using ECMAScript 5 at the time. If this is not the case, does anyone know what ECMAScript Specification Podio is now using in their calculation fields? I would like to take advantage of as many features as possible in later versions of JS.
Stefan also mentioned that moment.js library is available out-of-the box in these fields as well. I was able to find out back in February via a support ticket that although the current version of moment.js was 2.17.1 (2.18.0 today) that Podio was using 2.6.0 in the calculation fields. I put in another support ticket asking the above question, which is fairly similar (since it is about an undocumented feature in the Podio platform itself) but was redirected here.
Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks a bunch!

To anyone looking for the same information, the calc fields are using ECMAScript 5 as of today May 23 2017.
I have also found out from Podio that "There is a tech project going on to update v8 bindings to offer ES6 in calculation fields, but we are not able to provide any ETA on that."
I think I'll just keep trying to use "let" instead of "var" in a calc field every so often too check if Podio silently implemented this.
