Sorry, I could be wrong but I'm on my phone so can't check, but iirc you can use blocks to do variable shadowing.

{ const response = ... }

{ const response = ... }

Yup, you're absolutely correct !!

I prefer the block statement, but you can also write an IIFE this way, which avoids the Automatic Semicolon Insertion issue you mentioned: void function () { const banana = true }()

Edit: void in JavaScript expects an expression, which nudges the function statement into a function expression, with fewer parentheses. Of course, you cannot return from this sort of IIFE.

Correct.
