> Apps Script now supports the [V8 runtime](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/v8-runtime). Time for an update to the story “[Structure and simplify your Google Apps Script Apps script](https://medium.com/javascript-in-plain-english/create-javascript-objects-in-google-apps-script-91472378ab55)”. The V8 runtime brings modern [ECMAScript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript) syntax to Apps Script. So we can now use arrow functions and destructuring assignments. No more [hoisting](https://medium.com/javascript-in-plain-english/https-medium-com-javascript-in-plain-english-what-is-hoisting-in-javascript-a63c1b2267a1) with let and const and my personal favorite, template literals.

In this story Jasper Duizendstra shows the added value of the changes made in the constructor pattern using the factory functions. It also shows how to implement chaining and a builder pattern in Apps Script.
