Discussion on: Clean up your code by applying these 7 rules ⚡️

Great post!

Consider specifing the language in your markdown code blocks because Dev.to has syntax highlighting!

You can do this by adding the language after the first three backticks at the start of your code block:

// code block starts with '''js (but with backticks instead of ')
const fn = () => {
  const x = "hello"
  return 3 + x
}

vs

// code block starts with just ''' (but with backticks instead of ')
const fn = () => {
  const x = "hello"
  return 3 + x
}

Not sure that makes sense. The parser makes it difficult to explain. Here's a quick GitHub gist that will let you check out the raw text of this comment: Gist
