1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I'll take a quack at this, but I don't know what the flock I'm talking about. I don't wish to run afowl of the admins here, as they may drake me over the coals. Migrate contribution to this thread is to stop paddling these puns as if they actually fit the bill.

C#: var foo = "foo";
JS: let foo = "foo";
or:
let foo = 'foo';
C#: var s = $"Foo = {foo}";
JS: let s = Foo = `${foo}`;
C#: int Fnc(string a)
TS: fnc(a: string): number
C#: braces are on separate lines
JS: opening brace is on the same line.
C#: if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(foo))
JS: if (foo)
C#: Reverse(foo);
JS: this.reverse(foo);
or even worse: this.reverse(this.foo);
Half the time I wrote the wrong syntax for the wrong language.

There was a time when i could write Univac assembler code with only minimal reference to the OS reference manual. Modern languages are now so feature rich you need the SDK reference almost every few lines. Or maybe I am just not very good at it.

A find a blend of Google and Intellisense works for me - but yes, I take your point the framework is massive. Assembler is much more interesting to the likes of me though.

I can do both  And both are continual "doing it better" experiences. That never ends, no matter how many years I've done development. Not only because of course the language features evolve.

Actually, in C#, braces can be on the same line, a different line, or whatever you call the abomination of a formatting style that @OriginalGriff prefers.
JS mostly doesn't care. It's only an issue with things like return { ... };, where putting the opening brace on a new line confuses the parser into thinking it's two statements with a missing semicolon after return.

Aside from the opening brace belonging on the same line as functions, conditionals, &etc., which is a well established and eternal truth, I have a question:
Using javaScript, I have never used 'let' to introduce a symbol declaration. I have used 'var'. Aside from some sort of visual distinction, does it serve any value.

Yes, variables declared using let[^] and const[^] behave differently to those declared using var. The MDN documentation does a pretty good job of explaining the difference.

It's all about the scope.

Well yes, but ever since C++ I've used the separate line style.

I believe
return ({...}); also helps that? I know in some cases I have to put the object {} in parens so as not to confuse JS.

used to do this all the dang time.
I don't write Javascript anymore unless I have too. hasn't happened in over a year! Yay me.
But I switch between Powershell, SQL, C# etc... I sometimes forget how to comment in the language I am in at the time. It seems strange to me. I can write code quite well switching around. But I cannot remember how to comment in Powershell vs SQL vs C#.
The Brain it is strange.

Most folks I know don't know how to comment in any language; or, if they do know how, they don't use that ability.
