Styleguide
</h1>
<p id="paragraph">
Modern JavaScript is more concise (some would say Pythonic) than ever. The
language shows a clear trend to omit superfluous chars (e.g. the semicolon after
each statement, a compact notation for multiline-strings) provide more specific
keywords (e.g. let and const in addition to the var statement, class and static
for object oriented programing and namespaces).
This styleguide lists some of the newer ways which should be prefered over older
styles still to be found on <a href="http://stackoverflow.com">stackoverflow</a>
and other sites.

<script class="doctest">
var a = 42 // Old way, global scope
let b = 42 // New way, local scope
const c = 42 // Use this for values that should remain constant
// Commonly used but in modern browsers no longer needed
let p = document.getElementById('paragraph')
// Instead use id directly
console.log(paragraph)
// Iteration the old way
let list = [a, b, c]
for(var i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
let value = list[i]
}
// Prefered shorter version
for(let key of list) {
let value = list[key]
}
// Anonymous functions the old way
list.forEach(function(value) { })
// Prefered arrow functions
list.forEach((value) => { })
// The main advantage of arrow functions is the fact that this is now
// bound to the value in the outer context. This makes bind calls superfluous.
class Test {
obsolete1() {
this.addEventListener(function(event) {
console.log("This is still this:", this)
}.bind(this))

<p>The same holds for HTML5.</p>
<pre><code>
&lt;!-- Old way --&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src=""&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;!-- Prefered way: text/javascript is now the default type --&gt;
&lt;script src=""&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
