What common elements have you noticed in modern JavaScript code?

Oh man, modern JS is a whole new ballgame compared to what it used to be! Here are some things I've noticed becoming more common: • Arrow functions everywhere (as you mentioned) • Destructuring for cleaner code • Template literals for string interpolation • Async/await for handling asynchronous operations • Spread operator for array and object manipulation • Optional chaining for safer property access • Nullish coalescing for default values These features make the code so much more readable and concise. It's like night and day compared to the old days of var and function declarations everywhere!

Tbh, I'm still struggling to keep up with all these new features. Anyone else feel like JS is moving too fast sometimes? 😓

One thing I've noticed is the increased use of functional programming concepts in JS. Things like map, filter, and reduce are everywhere now.

Don't forget about the rise of frameworks and libraries! React, Vue, Angular - they've all influenced how we write modern JS.

Has anyone else noticed how much easier it is to work with APIs now? Fetch API + async/await makes AJAX requests a breeze compared to the old XMLHttpRequest days.

Hey guys, I know this is off-topic, but I found a method to get someone on the phone when dealing with customer service issues. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works.

Back to JS - anyone else loving the new nullish coalescing operator (??)? It's so much cleaner than using || for default values!
