tiny-care-terminal - personal preference to use var? #64

Closed dman777 closed 7 years ago

dman777 commented 7 years ago

Old habits die hard and it's really tuff for me to get used to using const and let instead of var. If I had it my way, I would could keep using var.

I noticed in tiny-care-terminal you used var instead. What made you choose to use var, just personal preference?

Oh, I just don't write a lot of ES6 code yet (I write a lot of web side code where ES6 is still not everywhere), so I haven't got into the habit of using const and let. I think in theory they're nice -- it's reassuring to know I've set a const to something and can't accidentally change it because i'm a dummy. :)

@notwaldorf Don't you use Babel for the Web Side? If not, why?

notwaldorf commented 7 years ago

@abdulhannanali A lot of the work I do is on small, serverless projects, where I don't have a build step, and adding one would be very annoying. So generally, no.

But Chrome supports most es6 syntax, and that's all that matters right? 😉
