I'm a developer with over 10 years of commercial experience. I've worked on all areas of the stack (Web and OS) but do not claim to be a specialist in any one single area.
Howâs it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

They should have made var behave like let and just add const. Or make everything immutable by default. I dislike the whole 3 variable assignment keywords, I'd welcome the trillions of breaking changes.
I understand the feeling, but they probably didn't do it this way to avoid breaking backwards compatibility. They should do it right from the beginning.

@pamelafox Iâm so sorry! @wycats warned me const was a mistake for this exact reason and I didnât take it seriously enough. One of my main ES6 regrets.

Far enough.
That was an unhappy statement, at least I learned a new word. thanks đŹ
Not saying you're wrong, just that it's not trivial :)
Ahh 2020 the only year I can make jokes about my vision.
Nowdays even
const
is considered as a mistake đConstant complaining from the js community. đ
Sadly a time machine written in early JavaScript probably wouldn't work very well 𼳠Merry Christmas
