Modernized style
mondalaci opened this issue · comments
I see that in the source code viewers there's a modernized vs traditional mode, the modernized not containing any semicolons. What makes this any modern than the semicoloned version? I personally think it's a bad practice. Worse yet, the modernized is the default for ES6, suggesting that no semicolons should be used for ES6 code.
My answer is already in the FAQ in README.md. Please see there.
@rse Thanks for the quick reply, I really should have RTFMed.
I still think the traditional / modernized naming is a higly misleading and arbitrary one. It suggests that ES6 somehow promotes not using semicolons. Also, I think there's nothing "modern" about omitting semicolons. Regardless, you've definitely made your point in the docs but I think these terms are making the otherwise super-polished site somewhat confusing.
Another issue: your term of the "automatic semicolon interference" is not used by anyone else. "Automatic semicolon insertion" is the correct term that is used.
Thanks for this site and keep it up!
The perhaps too offending "modernized" is now named "reduced" on the website and I've replaced the incorrect word "interference" with "inference/insertion" in the FAQ. Thanks for the hints.
Thanks for the quick fix, great job!
