I hate JavaScript

:-D come ooooooooooooon With the relatively new "ECMA6", writing in Javascript is pretty much like writing in C# ECMAScript 6: New Features: Overview and Comparison[^]
That's fine if you control the environment. If you're writing a website, it's going to be 10+ years before you can safely use those features without a "transpiler" to convert them back to ES5. And even then, you'll still have users on IE6 complaining that your site is broken. :rolleyes:

Took me 10 minutes to find the error:
onProceed: funtion() {And of course, the only error I get isUncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token {So of course I wonder, where did I have a mismatched curly brace??? Wrong wonderment.

Nope. Takes a little getting used to when you usually code in C# or something but it's just another language you can do some interesting things with.

Really? No syntax hilighting? `function` is blue and `funtion` is grey. Or you're using the wrong editor. Otherwise, prepend this to all your javascript:
var funtion = function(){ throw new Error("you typed _funtion_ instead of _function_"); };
var x = funtion() {}; -

That's the thing! If you look at this link ECMAScript 6 compatibility table[^] you ll see that almost every browser is now ECMA6 compatible. The only and only exception is IE. So, let's move those old IE aficionados to Edge then

Yes.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
There was a time when I frequently used Javascipt to knock of quick and dirty batches. Then along came powershell and I was reformed. Hallelujah!
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Edge has 2 use cases: 1) Downloading Chrome 2) Amazement that they made it so much faster while making it feel like it's just broke!

Love your byline. :-D

10 minutes is fast to find that. I'm serious. I've had a single missing comma cost me over an hour. Painful.
My book, Launch Your Android App, is available at Amazon.com.
My wife had a missing period that cost me 22 years. :laugh:
