This is awesome! Congratz on the release! I just watched the video on the home page and I'm really impressed. I'll take a serious look in it! Thanks!

Exciting progress, and I'd love to use it, but the thing holding me back is lack of support for ES6 syntax. https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejstools/issues/77

> With the start of a new season of Game of Thrones, folks are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to see what’s coming. Unlike the Khaleesi who seems to be going nowhere fast, Node.js Tools for Visual Studio (NTVS) has made some moves recently.

Shots fired!

But really, excellent job on the release! Microsoft has been producing a lot lately, and that's awesome to see!

When you guys going to fix MAX_PATH? And I don't mean "fixing" the entire node ecosystem so that it just happens to work with MAX_PATH?

So what happened with io.js in the end? I can't keep up with the self-destruction of the industry, which should I be using, io.js or node?

Most likely they will merge back with Node.js within a few releases.

They forked. There has been talk of reconciliation but it seems to me that many of the iojs folks are not really on-board with the idea. As far as which to use, take it from some guy on the internet, I say use iojs.

Yep. That's definitely high priority. First we'll fix the squiggles in the editor and then we'll add intellisense...

Please comment so we can better prioritize the es6 feature work.
