I was not referring to what you said about JavaScript, but rather your inclusion of a unrelated, unnecessary and highly polarizing political tangent.

  I'm sorry, I didn't think it was controversial that Trump did that kind of stuff, and it made a perfect metaphor. But even if you disagree about Trump, I think you can still understand the metaphor about JavaScript fat arrow functions. Can you think of a better metaphor? Edit: I added "(or Obama)" for people who are offended by me pointing out what everyone knows about Trump.

    Many of us are trying to escape "Trump Derangement Syndrome" which has become infectious almost everywhere else.

      Programming language design IS politics. Especially JavaScript. How do you think it got its name?

        Not that kind of politics.
