Is Javascript Perl?

Any

Last summer a new JavaScript standard came out - EcmaScript 2015 or ES 6. Although this happened more than a year go, it was a lot of fun for me to see that features that are so common for us in Perl world, has finally come to Javascript. And I want to present them to others and discuss a question - if other languages are borrowing from Perl (in some sense), maybe Perl is not *that* dead?
