Evolving alongside JS (JS Party #131)
We take a listener request this week and discuss how we evolve alongside (or opt out of) the ever changing JavaScript syntax. Arrow functions and variable declarations take center stage, but a wide range of new(ish) JS syntax and features are discussed.
Then Feross shares his new app, Nick talks fiction books, and Jerod switches coding fonts.
