We can simulate bound variables. Building on getters as mentioned:
with({ get doubleX() { return x * 2 } }) {
}

Find “Tennent’s Correspondence Principle” in TC39 archives and read up.

Based on Java’s equivalents (continue too, in a loop): docs.oracle.com/javase/tutor….
I wonder what fraction of JS hackers do not know about break to label.

break/label is the goto which we have in JS. Probably used like:
exit: { exit_cleanup: {
const err = doWork()
if (err) break exit_cleanup
else break exit
}
// exit cleanup code
return "error"
}
// exit normal
return "success

What’s wrong with downward no loop goto in C code where break etc. do not suffice?

Going to open a store called, "Just JavaScript!"
So your telling me onclick="foo()" is legacy because it pollutes the global namespace. So we then we added modules, which requires getElementById(..).addEventListener(".."), so then we added frameworks to re-add back on:click="foo()" but with magic. What is wrong with you all?

You don’t see A16Z (Netscape, FF) in the weeds like this 🤘 much respect.

Dijkstra called goto harmful in 1968
the Linux kernel contains tens of thousands of goto statements
the label out alone appears thousands of times
Linus's response on LKML in 1997: "there's nothing wrong with gotos, especially for handling error cases"

the "in module protected" pattern is what made it possible to have Computed extends Signal without having neither classes exposing public fields anyone could accidentally play around with
this is my "new favorite" pattern for inheritance when classes need private fields extend
ALT let a; class A { static { a = self => self.#a; } #a = 'a'; } class B extends A { #b = 'b'; toString() { return `${a(this)} ${this.#b}`; } } console.log(String(new B)); // logs: 'a b'

I wasn't too happy about JSC vs V8 performance so I went ahead and changed approach.
v0.2 is now classes based, just like Preact, but it's also now as fast, if not faster, than Preact.
still ~0.5KB but slightly bigger than before.

There is some order of magnitude of dark patterns by the FAANG, and, who can blame them? Replicability and identity function, structuredClone() postMessage() can work on all your engineers.

Preact-like signals in 0.5K with all tests and benchmarks 100% code coverage up and running, in case you'd like to explore signals without paying any "bloat tax" (not that Preact or alien-signals are bloated, yet this is 0.5K)

Did you know that Microsoft EXCEL 2000 had a hidden game in it? The classic Commodore 64 game SPY HUNTER got re-imagined as Dev Hunter and hidden as an Easter Egg in EXCEL... this is not joke. Seriously.
In this video, used with the kind permission of Youtuber Tom K (Link to the video with full commentary is below)
Prepare to have your minds blown, lets get Spy... I mean Dev Hunter started right now...GO!
(reposted as I forgot to add the video...DOH!)

I was on a team which bundled/minified the JS before chucking it in the monorepo. Had a lot of fun then

It used to be that some teams checked in fully compiled DLLs. Cutler call these things FCIBs - fucking checked in binaries.
