Now that rocketchat uses node v8.9.3 .. this should also use the upgraded node.

I believe with the conversion to js this might be possible

I'm currently porting our Internal Hubot scripts to external Hubot instance and I get SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode, most probably because of very old node version (4.8.3) in rocketchat/hubot-rocketchat image...

Is it possible to bump Node version?

EDIT: finally I used cusdeb/hubot-rocketchat:2.0-amd64 as image for building our bot.

Still not updated :tired_face: I totally forgot about this issue and I'v commented commit that introduced info about v2.x.x with Node 8 and Hubot v3. Hope it can be resolved...
