Ionic 2 cli and Javascript 2015 / ES6

AFAIK it’s not possible anymore, here’s the official comment on the topic:

JS option has been removed, since we are going to focus our efforts to support Typescript.

Since TS is a superset of JS, it is up to developers to use the new features or not.

We strongly recommend to give TS a try, decorators and types help a lot while using angular 2.
