JavaScript: Douglas Crockford the Better Parts: the Bads Parts Reconsidered

Summary of the “Better Parts”

Douglas Crockford stopped using Object.create(). Because he stopped using this. And he stopped using new long ago.

• Operator “new”
• this Binding
• Use Object.create to Emulate Constructor
• Property Key “constructor”

• Stopped using “for loops”. Instead, use arrayX.forEach(), arrayX.map(), etc. [see Array.prototype]

• Stopped using for in … anymore. Use Object.keys( obj).forEach(f) instead. [see Access Property]

• Use ES6's tail recursion feature, instead of while statement.
