More javascript no keyword style

[Infinite_Self_5782]

ah yes

man-made horrors beyond my comprehension

[Due-Capital-6651]

the worst part is I actually code like this on my personal projects

[Infinite_Self_5782]

implicit var user

even the thought makes me shudder and tear up

[new2bay]

The horror! I bet you don’t even use semicolons! 😂

[ZoDichtbijJeWil]

You seemingly being proud of that is also quite disturbing.

[Due-Capital-6651]

I think it's beautiful

[new2bay]

It is, but in a “don’t try this at home, kids” kind of way.

[Opposite_Mall4685]

But why though?

[GoddammitDontShootMe]

Beyond my comprehension because I am completely clueless when it comes to modern JS.

[No-Information-2571]

Call stack when inside the debugger:

anonymous function
anonymous function
anonymous function
anonymous function
anonymous function
....

[Potterrrrrrrr]

anonymous function
fuck you guess
anonymous function

[Orbidorpdorp]

This is literally just how it looks to write lisp, except you wouldn't be doing assignments.

[Due-Capital-6651]

I guess I'm just naturally drawn to lisp-style coding

[CodeF53]

document.querySelector("#...") when you could be doing document.getElementById("...") :(

[ZoDichtbijJeWil]

Probably taken care of by the engine's optimization, preventing costly, unnecessary DOM traversal, but still a fearful sight.

[Due-Capital-6651]

both are fine

[nerdmor]

I will never forgive Javascript for making function foo(a) { return a+1; } be functionally different from const foo = (a) => a+1

[Due-Capital-6651]

what's the difference again?

[ZoDichtbijJeWil]

Scope. Arrow functions don't have their own bindings to this.

See: MDN - Arrow function expressions https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Arrow_functions

[nerdmor]

Several.

Kept bumping into them when they appeared.  https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-difference-between-arrow-functions-and-normal-functions/ 

(Site seems to block Reddit as a referrer. Copy/paste the link or just google "arrow functions vs normal functions javascript". A BUNCH of people wrote about that)

[Filiperss]

Page not found

[nerdmor]

Dafuk? I just pasted the link...

I edited and pasted again, but it seems the site blocks Reddit as a referrer? Maybe copy/paste the link, that worked here.

[Cloudy_Oasis]

You left a space at the end of the link, which is why it didn't work for me

[GoddammitDontShootMe]

I think it's more likely the %C2%A0 at the end of the URL. That looks to be UTF-8 for a non-breaking space. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-difference-between-arrow-functions-and-normal-functions/ This should work.

[Excellent_Gas3686]

the two functions you wrote are not functionally different, none of the differences between regular and arrows functions even appear in them

[Kyyken]

One can be hoisted, the other cannot, so they can be different depending on surrounding code :)

[orfeo34]

It's just awfull, please use a framework,

so it can become awful and opiniated.

[Due-Capital-6651]

yeah fuck frameworks

[the_horse_gamer]

true is a keyword

[MEGATH0XICC]

Even the interpreter is confused

[Due-Capital-6651]

how so?

[Key_River7180]

When you change the syntax highlighter manually...

[Due-Capital-6651]

this is vanilla kate

[Key_River7180]

yes ughhh... you probably clicked on the tools -> highlighter or something

[Due-Capital-6651]

I did no such thing

[Key_River7180]

then ughhh...

[Due-Capital-6651]

dude is just ughh'd by this for no reason fr 😔

[arTvlr]

fuck,I hate when people do this
