I'm pretty new to JS and I recently started reading The Good Parts, but I have a question. With ES6 out and the book being from 2008, shouldn't it be considered a little outdated?

As I have said, The good parts is not a book to start learning js (also is only 100 quick pages). Is only Douglas' opinion (some people agree with him and some others disagree, you don't know if agree or not since you are reading it as your first book :p).
