   You are missing the point; if you use JavaScript, you use prototypal inheritance whether you like it or not, e.g.: function getUser() {} That is creating an instance of the `Function` constructor object[1][2]. In a Classical (as cla

   If you like books, read these in this order: 1. Eloquent JavaScript by Marijn Haverbeke 2. Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja by John Resig (jQuery author) and Bear Bibeault Those two books formed the foundation for my understanding of JavaScr

   Prototypal inheritance plays a huge role in understanding the language because JavaScript uses it for everything. It might be a good idea to learn about this before using ES6 classes; remember that ES6 classes are syntactic sugar on top of

   I use a Thinkpad X220 too. There's an entire community around getting your Thinkpad the way you want. One time I had to replace the wireless card and instead of going to a technician or Best Buy I asked in the IRC channel (##ibmthinkpa

    I get what adtac said, but, "not use node for cli tools?" Come on, so if I only know JavaScript and I want to build a cli tool for personal use that can later open source, shouldn't do it because the language? That's not

    JavaScript classes are syntactic sugar, the class type doesn't exist in ES2015; everything still works with prototypical inheritance. So, I'd say that this book is still relevant Today. If you don't understand how inheritanc

    I don't know why, but just by reading the title my mind implied JavaScript, and I noticed it doesn't have that word only after reading your comment. Weird.

    More snarky than usual, i don't know why. "why not just" or "just use" kind of comments that you see more in reddit. Even someone recommended an Electron alternative, on HN! the #1 Electron hater community. Interest

    Accessibility is another benefit from using Bootstrap. From someone who "hated" bootstrap in the past, this feature is the most significant for me.

    As long as you understand idioms, programming paradigms in general, and good patterns in specific languages (e.g. list comprehension in python, prototypal inheritance in js, metatables in lua, etc.) you shouldn't be afraid of showing o
