For all of us that loves (or just have to use) the JavaScript programming language. We blog about JavaScript for the life long learners out there.

@typescript For a type system, but comments are for humans.

Have another iteration for a proper extension of the ECMAScript syntax, take inspiration from other modern languages such as Rust, Dart, Swift, as well TypeScript.

I really think it could be great, but not with comment hacks! :)

@ravixfourhorn @100xcode A usual approach is to style towards your main target audience devices first, in many cases today that is mobile devices.

The main style differences for the secondary devices seem mainly layout related and possibly font size. I split CSS by those features instead of screen size.

@1297Shubham @dev_bot9190 It is a bit odd, but think of it more like all non primitive values being pointers to the objects. When you use const you basically lock the variable to always point to the same object, but the object itself is still mutable unless you freeze it.

@1297Shubham @dev_bot9190 You can use Object.freeze(array) on them to make them immutable, if they ony contains primitives, else you need to call Object.freeze recursively on objects/arrays.

@Chrissy_codes @dev_bot9190 Welcome to a wonderful, energetic world!

A tip: focus on learning about the language itself and the underlying standards, those skills are useful for years.

Rather than spending to much time among the surface waves (frameworks and npm packages) that gets rewritten once a week.

@mhmmdbaldo Nice work @mhmmdbaldo!

To reduce a long chain of if-statements, you could create an Object that contains your dictionary of translations instead, then to a lookup in that Object, and fallback to "unknown":
