dropping node < 4
Problem
@luin what do you think? Can this make it into v3? I'm primarily concerned about dependencies and being able to use some of the recent es6 features

Upgrade ioredis and Node.js to Support ES6 Features
The issue of dropping support for Node.js versions less than 4 arises from the fact that these older versions do not support many ES6 features and modern JavaScript syntax. As a result, dependencies that utilize these features cannot function correctly, leading to compatibility issues.

- 1
Check Current Node.js Version
Verify the current version of Node.js being used in your environment. This will help determine if an upgrade is necessary.
bashnode -v - 2
Upgrade Node.js
If the Node.js version is less than 4, upgrade to at least version 4 or higher. This can be done using a version manager like nvm or directly downloading from the Node.js website.
bashnvm install 14 - 3
Update ioredis Dependency
Ensure that the ioredis dependency is updated to the latest version that supports Node.js 4 or higher. This can be done by modifying the package.json file and running npm install.
bashnpm install ioredis@latest - 4
Test Application
Run the application to ensure that it functions correctly with the upgraded Node.js and ioredis. Look for any errors or warnings related to compatibility.
bashnpm start - 5
Verify ES6 Features
Check that the application can utilize ES6 features such as arrow functions, promises, and template literals without issues.
javascriptconst example = () => { return `Hello, ES6!`; }; console.log(example());
Validation
Confirm that the application runs without errors and that ES6 features can be used as expected. Additionally, ensure that all tests pass successfully.
