Should I do Something Only Because Crockford Says So?

Crockford says: “Don’t do that, please stop doing it!?” It may be related to JavaScript, YUI, CSS or whatever. PPK recently posted about browser prefixes with the same intonation. OK, fine, it’s difficult to maintain, it’s ugly but my job is to make the site look as nice as possible.

I agree with Crokford that only with copy/paste now JavaScript has the reputation of badly standardized language with no programmers that understand it at all. It’s true, but however this maybe made JavaScript so popular, now all the libraries come with that abstraction in mind and this gap seems to be smaller.

In addition I’ll say that’s fine if Crockford or PPK say something like that, but the primary goal of every web developer is not to be in good relations with Crockford, but to satisfy clients! I’d like to repeat – clients!

Is undefined equal to undefined?

That’s the question! Crockford says it is not, but let see the experiment.

var a, b;
console.log(typeof a);
console.log(a === b);

the answer is – it is.
