— You could look into the future, man
And know, somewhere ahead of the current executing statement, there is a variable being declared but not allocated yet (due to not being executed yet)
— You could perhaps, at the top of your functions, get a list of all the variables being declared
— This is especially powerful after a function finished executing too, since if you use that abstraction on a function after the fact, you could also see the same information from the outside
— How to prevent the zoom in website ? f.e :- facebook.com on android browser. any tip pls ?
— It is perhaps default behaviour of js, hoisting
— Exactly, this is how hoisting works
— Currently JS provides us with very inconsistent ways of determining if a variable is undeclared versus unassigned... you are forced into relying on a reference error
— But the parser knows... if we had some abstraction like the hash thing, we could know
— It would mean so much for debugging and monitoring of scopes
— nubilfi welcome :)
— TRGWII I forgot to mention about the wordwrap function, the senior engineer agrees with you on that the regex makes it less readable
