 By default, AWS Lambda only supports a specific version of JavaScript. It doesn't have an up-to-date Node.js engine. And looking a bit further ahead, we'll be using a more advanced flavor of JavaScript with ES6/ES7 features. So it would make sense to follow the same syntax on the backend and have a transpiler convert it to the target syntax. This would mean that we won't need to worry about writing different types of code on the backend or the frontend.
 
-In this chapter, we are going to enable ES6/ES7 for AWS Lambda using the Serverless Framework. We will do this by setting up [Babel](https://babeljs.io) and [Webpack](https://webpack.github.io) to transpile and package our project. If you would like to code with AWS Lambda's default JavaScript version, you can skip this chapter. But you will not be able to directly use the sample code in the later chapters, as they are written in ES6 syntax.
