An useful code snippet for everyone!

Why would you still write <ES6 in 2023
That's how you get ppl to hate javascript

+ a standardized way of formatting dates already exists: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US...

Who ever said people should like JavaScript in the first place?

What's the significance of the comma at the end of most lines?

@electrineer it's a multiple var definition

@electrineer They're assigning multiple variables with one statement

Not that I know why anyone would write code like that today...

@ScriptCoded that's clearly the code of tomorrow, that's why!

@NodaiWTF Not trying to be rude or anything, but are you a JS dev or is this just a snippet you found while learning that you wanted to share? There are a bunch of things about it that's not on par with what would be considered modern or even good practice.

@ScriptCoded I'm a Senior Dev at my company support team, meaning they make someone else write this beautiful code and I get the exciting opportunity to fix some minor issues in it!
For instance, look at this neat code block! Ain't it tidy inside its curly brackets?

OH FUCK

@NodaiWTF @ScriptCoded oh fuck.

I'm concerned that two commenters thought that it was likely that this post was unironic.

@electrineer that's because it could actually have been unironic. I mean I guess the author was really pleased with this outcome seeing how much effort they put in it instead of just googling "js format dates". That's some pride right there I believe!

@NodaiWTF Haha okey good 😂

@NodaiWTF oh nooo 💀

@electrineer only because I've already seen worse

@illuminaughty I hope I never will
