It's GREAT!

However, I think the Top 3 (Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide) is outdated; it only covers up to ES5, and JavaScript has evolved TOO much since ES6.

From my point of view, everything else is spectacular. Thanks!

Thank you for your comment. In that repo, there is a separate section for ES6+, you can read the README file in section "28. ECMAScript 6+ (ES 2015+) Styles"
Hope this help!

"Clean Code" - not that anyone bothers to write anything amounting to such. Especially in pressurized agile environments
