HN comment orderThis site is absolutely awesome and I would suggest this to new comers and experienced folks alike. It covers all things related to javascript, explains the concepts really well in a practical day to day application point of view. I might be sounding like a promoter for it, but it really added a lot of value for me personally, so just wanted to spread the good word.
In almost 10 years of professional development with Javascript/Typescript, I have never encountered a colleague using the call/bind/apply keywords (or "this" outside of classes). I'd say almost all professionals deliberately avoid 80%+ of the language in practice.
ES6 has been there in our browsers since a long time now, yet why do so many still use babel?
