Re: The Invention of the Function Keyword
#2I have a pet peeve: I find it annoying when someone uses
"const lambda" to define named functions instead of using
the "function" keyword.
I thought I'd air my grievances to the world.

#3> Now why do people use const lambdas when there is a perfectly fine function keyword?
Because the hoisting of functions introduces mutable variables. The rule for variables is that everything should be const unless it is meant to be reassigned and then you use let.
