    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.

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

      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 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:

          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

            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!

              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!

                My first encountered with duct-typing, I though was bad idea. Now switching back to code in C#, I actually miss the duct-type and the ability of adding property on the go as in JavaScript. No you are not the only weirdo.

                    10 minutes is fast to find that. I'm serious. I've had a single missing comma cost me over an hour. Painful.
