-A few episodes ago I expressed my disdain for ORMs and ODMs.  I find them to either be a design small in your code or irrelevant.  We're going to dive into the alternatives as we work towards a better app structure.
+    const foo = () => console.log('Hello, ES6!')
+
+Such confuse. Very not understand.
+
+This code snippet looks like a programming language, and it has a few traces of JavaScript in it.  But that doesn't look like it will work!
+
+And you're right.  Both your browser and Node.js are going to struggle if you try to run this.
+
+But what if I told you the code above was equivalent to the following?:
+
+    var foo = function () {
+      console.log('Hello, ES6!')
+    }
+
+Well it is, and I think it reads much cleaner, and that's why in this episode, we're going to start learning how to take that first snippet and make it work in Node.js.
 
-In this episode though, we're going to show to handle user input without resorting to the crutch of an ODM.
