it is actually a good thing
so you can better smell bullshit from miles away instead of wasting time diggin into the tutorial 😂 -
Phlisg25246yAaand you could practically use es6 in the browser (except for extending classes or modules usage, but there are libs) instead of transpiling it to a big messy blob you spent hours configuring because why not :D

there's a good article supporting var rather than let

i couldn't disagree more tho 😉
we already have function scoped stuff: parameters FGS!!!
otherwise we'll never get rid of the freaking closure problem. how beautiful, isn't it? stupid var...

LuxARTS16636yI know what let and var are and how to use them but I keep using var in my projects because it's easier to read for most of people.

tmpnull4476yLet reads nicer. That is literally the only reason I'm using it. Sure, it sorts loads of problems with var but I was already dealing with that shit by default after all these years.

Var is not dead at all! You know that not all ES6 features are supported in all browsers out there, right? So, for web apps that require a high level of compatibility on many many different devices quite a lot of companies are still using older stuff, even in new development.
It's been more than 3 years since ES6 came out.
Why are tutorials STILL coming out with people using "var" over "let" and "const"?
Var is dead folks.
