You're very lucky to be new to this! If you have success with div and flexbox for everything, then I'm guessing you're not supporting old IEs. You're lucky to have skipped the years of pain in which flexbox simply wasn&#

Linters (or in Elm's case), the compiler, should tell you when you forget a comma. Indents let the reader know the current line is a continuation. Comma-first also creates worse diffs than (enforced) trailing comma.

I'm suggesting it doesn't 'work fine', because syntax matters. Lisp-style 'S-expression' syntax for describing documents never took off. We have to take something from that - it seems the vast majority of devel

Yes I do understand all that, as I'm a React dev, in which render() methods and 'pure function components' work in exactly the same way (take props and state as input and return dom-creation-calls). That is why I used JSX as

As I alluded to I think the HTML version is less weird because it is close to what you're going to see when you open your browser DevTools. So the JSX/HTML style requires less mental gymnastics overall. Also there are some thing

Yeah as the article says they were only added for object literals in ES5, which is the main place the 'issue' comes up, and where I was making the comparison to Elm. That works in IE > ~7/8? without transpilation.

Yep, I get the preference over a lang that can't do trailing commas, which is why I used the trailing comma style as the counter-example. In a compile-to-JS language it's hopefully possible to make trailing commas legal. They&#x27

(Ellie is really cool, apologies for the meta comment, but): It's a shame that all that hits me in the face with Elm code examples lately is awkward style conventions. Why do they have to be so user hostile? Trailing brace on the next

So which specific tool are you laying this accusation at? Bootstrap, which has been refined into tiny Sass and Less modules, and which for people who use neither, has the customize link in its main nav?

And again that supposed benefit of yours is entirely subjective, no matter how objective you try to make it sound. To me that's not a good enough reason to write my code in that style, when to me (subjective), OOP models the world in a

His lazy comment doesn't need rationalising. VS Code is not 'a very bad app'. If you know of a comparable app that uses fewer resources to a significant degree please let us all know and I'm sure we'll all switch.
