Like the Edge layout engine and unlike previous versions in Internet Explorer the declared intention is that it will reflect the "Living Web".[1]On December 5th of 2015, it was announced that core components of Chakra will be open-sourced as ChakraCore.
Standards support
Chakra supports ECMAScript 5.1 with partial support for ECMAScript 6.[2]
Open Sourcing
On December 5th 2015, Microsoft announced plans to open source the Chakra engine as ChakraCore, which will include all the key components of the JavaScript engine powering Microsoft Edge on their Github page under the MIT license in January 2016.[3]
