@welefen Not sure if you noticed or not, but there is experimental support for ES7 decorators. In your jsconfig.json file, use the experimentalDecorators option:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6",
        "module": "commonjs",
        "experimentalDecorators": true
    }
}

That seems to be all the ES7 support you get at this time.

What about async/await?! See #408

Would love support for ES7 too.

Maybe it has changed since last year and there are new ES7-related options available ?

For example new function bind :: operator would be great.

moving this to TypeScript from which VS Code gets TS and JS smartness

Covered by #4692 which is committed but not aligned to a particular Milestone.

note that ES7 (aka ES 2016) is done. decorators, object literal spread rest, SIMD, async functions etc .. is not part of ES7/ES2016.

ES7/ES2016 only has exponentiation operator and array.include. I think what you are look for is ES Next target. this is tracked by #5361
