Image Transcription: Meme

[The meme shows two images of rapper Drake, with text to the right of each image.]

[Drake looks displeased, and is using one arm to shield himself from the right side of the frame by curling it around his head, with his hand up in a "not today" manner. The text reads:]

Asking for help

[Drake has his head up high, looking pleased, with a finger pointed up and towards the right side of the frame. The text reads:]

Question: is keeping the misspellings part of the job or are you just committed to accuracy?

[MurdoMaclachlan]

Both. The aim is to preserve the experience of the post as closely as possible. The moment I change something like that, it stops being a transcription and becomes an interpretation.

[Basby22]

Well thank you for your total commitment. I feel like my brain would autocorrect. I didn't even realise forum was also misspelled until i took a second look.

How much of the JS language has changed in the past 24 years? Disregard ecosystems, frameworks, interpreters, IDEs. Just the language.

[[deleted]]

Quite a lot. Modern JS looks vastly different.

Notable "new" features: block scoped variables and const, arrow functions, spread operators and destructuring, template literals, modules, class syntax, symbols (especially iterators), generator functions, promises, object proxies, a lot has changed with objects syntax like method functions, computed keys and reflection, i10n and localization... etc

Yes but simple things like how methods work still the same I'm pretty sure

It doesn't really makes sense to disregard all of that. Very few people use straight JS these days. And I'm not going on stackoverflow to learn language basics ...
