JavaScript is almost famous for some of it’s weird behaviours around variables. This goal of this article is to make it so that you will never be surprised by the value of this or why a variable seems to not change when you set it somewhere else.
TL;DR: “use strict” is good, JavaScript modules better. Never use var , use const where possible, use let sparingly. Use blocks to scope the impact of variables. The IIFE is a pretty cool pattern. Combined with a good linter you will write code which should hopefully work first time ..read more
