Stop using (nested) ternary operator's ! Use if-statements! if(val==1) var res = 1; if(val==2) var res = 2;

  You're joking right? first: `var` is completely outdated, second: it should be `else if` for the next conditions, and third: ternary, nested or not, is simply better for that

  There's real value in the fact that ternary operators form expressions, which if statements don't.

    Could you elaborate ? I think the only difference is readability, where I favor if-statements over expressions.

  Except ternary expressions have the huge advantage that they allow assigning to const. Eg: const var = val == 1 ? 1 : va1 == 2 ? 2 : null;

    It's hard to argue about not using const, but can you remember any time where const actually prevented a bug !?
