    1. This project doesn't use semicolons, b/c overly formalize functions, css names and file structures but don't bother with formal line endings

    Seriously, do you ever get the feeling 90% of the javascript community styles projects b/c they like just heard an idea from a guy once?

      Please explain to me how building and using entire packages on formal typing but not doing formal line endings makes sense?

        This is the shit I'm talking about... do you think someone is just sitting out there thinking up ways to make javascript less clear?

          Some people must be sitting out there saying to themselves 'no one will respect javascript because it isn't arcane enough, let's fix that'

            Seriously, you know where this ends, everyone using anything but javascript to write javascript. Write it with Go! github.com/bep/gr

              Or write Javascript with oCaml github.com/bloomberg/bucklescript ! Because people can't tell what the best practice way to write actual JS is

                Seriously, tho, I can't even find two React/Redux projects that look marginally similar. Sometimes being verbose in your code is useful...

                  ... because verbose code explains itself and its standards and makes it clear what those standards are. And we're compressing this anyway!

                    I dunno, mby I'm being grumpy because I used to be able to type an input field w/html and now it takes 8 libraries and 3 files.

                      I get it is about prepping to scale up, and I love React and the idea of Flux & company etc... etc... but surely there is some better way?

                        I really should port my projects to TypeScript, which at least expresses types formally, but damn, just another thing to add to the stack.

                          I think the worst offense in all this is that JavaScript was never a particularly DRY language, but it seems to be getting even less so.

                            Look, we all have auto complete. Doing something like making .bind less verbose with fat arrows isn't any more DRY than doing it verbosely

                              Javascript is now, in practice, always going to have a build task. So dropping characters from typed code is fundamentally pointless.

                                I know, *I know*, that we're still in the process of fundamentally reinventing JS, that this is all transient and unfinished, but still.
