Heh, true I guess.
I'm definitely guilty of judging people on how they write their code though. I do try to avoid it but sometimes it cannot be helped. Seeing var everywhere will change a person.
I agree, but var has quantifiable reasons why it's potentially harmful. (Of course, var isn't necessarily harmful - it's just potentially harmful, depending upon how you use it.) So I understand the aversion to seeing any new code written with var.
Contrast that with those who shudder every time they see class in JS code. I have yet to hear a single quantifiable reason why this is "bad". All of their arguments fall back on fuzzy bromides and vague notions of "best practices". Yet they'll still use the appearance of that class keyword as a shibboleth to eliminate you from consideration.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
If you're not hung up on tech "shibboleths", then it doesn't matter where you fall in that combination of traits.
