— Javascript finally making an effort to not be named after something else.

I write JS like this, should I use Lisp?

const promisify = f =>
  (...args) =>
    new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
      f(...args, (err, ...results) =>
        err
          ? reject(err)
          : (results.length > 1
            ? resolve(results)
            : resolve(results[0]))));

— Haha, very nice

— Good that you indent ternaries, I like that

— That's the way Crockford recommends to indent them

— Hah

— Not to say that i linted this snippet

— I don't even lint my js tbh

— I mean I may have a lint whenI run make for certain projects but I never lint during dev

— "The ternary operator can be visually confusing, so ? question mark and : colon always begin a line and increase the indentation by 4 spaces."

return (the_token.id === "(string)" || the_token.id === "(number)")
    ? String(the_token.value)
    : the_token.id;

— Having your editor autolint while typing can be great for beginners

— It feels annoying for me now though
