Template Literals / backticks Not Working

[dylanh724]

This is a pretty core ECMA6 feature that has been around for a decent while now -- any chance template literals and backticks are coming soon?

var myName = 'Jon Snow';
var name = `Greetings, ${myName}!`; // Error
// Expected: 'Greetings, Jon Snow!'

Anyone who is willing to spend time on the codebase is welcome to contribute this enhancement. However there is no one working on it AFAIK.

Ah, I'm so bad at Java. Perhaps another year. It would take me ages just to get it out of the box.

This is a dup of #243, so should be closed as such imho
