If it is not the latest, just curious why this might be the case since it seems only max is interpreting it and it is not some cross browser issue.

Does anyone know if this is ES3/5/6 etc?

By the way, I forgot to say that I am asking about Max 8

Thank you Valery, would you also know if there is some form of console.log or some other such ability to see the this.patcher object in the Max console?

post()? (Hopefully, I understand the question correctly).

Thanks Valery, you understood correct. I just wanted to check, if you do post(this.patcher) I was expecting the object itself but instead get an id number is that the same for you? I just want to find a way to print the Javascript object so I can more easily discover its methods and properties.

For example, this.patcher.newdefault and this.patcher.newobject do similar but different things but I dont know where to find the source code or API documentation on exactly what they do and why.

Just a man trying to teach himself how to fish in the Max JS world - I am already a decent JavaScript programmer from my day job

The best place to learn Max/MSP Jitter Javascript Reference is here: 

http://max-javascript-reference.tim-schenk.de/#gsc.tab=0 

According to documentation this.patcher.newdefault and this.patcher.newobject do exactly the same: "Create a new object of class classname in a patcher using the specified parameters and return a Maxobj that represents it."

Thank you very much Valery...really appreciate your help with my questions :)

I wonder why Max JS is not getting an update to the latest ECMAScript?

I think this is sill valid. Since Max8 has built-in Nodejs we can transpile "natively" in Max project.
