What the cinnamon toast fuck is this?!

This dude combined template literals and the good ol' fashion string concatenate method. But whhyyy

The reason? Readability and consistency. He hates them.

Some people just want to watch cabbybaby burn.

2010 - "don't mix javascript with html"
2020 - "don't not mix javascript and html, we have JSX"
2030 - please let the world burn already.

Did they ... add onto it over time? Different parts written months/years apart?

@AmyShackles Nope, I checked the commits. It's just one part written by one person on a single commit.

@cabbybaby This... enrages me.

@-red it could be three part template strings tho

Love the consistency! Truly a work of art

The best part is he clearly knew template literals existed and then hedged his bets anyway. Somewhere in that file is a `+ ", " +` that's load-bearing. I got tired enough of gluing strings by hand that I wrote str_template — a tiny TS lib that just fills named placeholders. Same energy, fewer plus signs.
