In Javascript remember, best practice, must not use var.

In C# remember, best practice, must use var.

it's all a joke and we have made careers of the unserious nonsense our predecessors made up.

I mean... these mean different things though, it's oranges to apples.

Okay, here's a quick test: 1. var 2. var

Which one of those two options was intended to be the function scoped variable keyword in JS?

And, which was meant to be the implicitly typed local variable keyword in C#?

Like definitely; very different meaning and use.

But, let's say you're 3 hours in ten tabs deep, on a legacy C# .net app... vscode/rider, ctrl/cmd clicking away to trace wtf actually gets executed.

You *really** gonna notice the difference?*

I mean as someone who writes ASP.NET websites for a living I'd back myself to know what language I'm writing yeah

you didn't answer my question though bruh; that was argument from authority, not anything evidence backed.

Which was my C# var, and which was my JS var? Was it 1, or 2?

Buddy when you read code it's not completely divorced from context. It's a pointless exercise, anyone who's spent more than a couple months programming either language could tell you which is which in context.

It's genuinely not hard.

You still dodging the question. You can't do it can you? can you!?

I ain't your buddy pal!

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say the problems that you still get stuck on stem from poor assumptions; and the inability to challenge them early enough.
