What are your thoughts on JS Standard ? #35

Closed gaboesquivel closed 8 years ago

I think Feross has made a point on javascript standards The philosophy behind it perfectly aligns with cloverfields. "No decisions to make. No .eslintrc, .jshintrc, or .jscsrc files to manage. It just works." NPM uses it npm/package.json#L187

No. For one thing, it's not an idiomatic standard. It's pretty comical to call it "standard style" and then adopt unpopular rules like "no semicolons". I like semicolon-free style, but I'd prefer to embrace idiomatic style and avoid the arguments.

For another thing, we're using ES6 rules that are not included in "standard style".

@gaboesquivel its feature is a misleading name, it is way too far from "standard". "Standard" is just another opinionated toolset with good marketing. Check out this discussion.

airbnb/javascript is the one you could call mostly reasonable "standard" instead ;)

It is not a matter of personal preference it is a matter of best practices and statistics (actually, what is the most common use for this or that "feature").
