Idiomatic Javascript Repo

I think learning a new language such as TS which is quite similar to other languages we have worked with leads us into a very easy pitfall which is to start doing things as if we were indeed using Java or C# or something. Whereas javascript has some pretty unique features (as with any language) which we should use to our advantage. Not only to make our code take the most advantage of the language but to turn it into something which is readable by the community. :)

For example:
There is this neat thing called de-structuring. Take this dictionary:

var dict = {'weight':120, 'height':178, 'name': 'Luis'}

if we wanted to have weight and height in two variables we might think to do this:

const height = dict.height // this is the same dict['height']
const weight = dict.weight 

whereas javascript gives us a much more concise syntax

const {weight, height} = dict

These two resources give a great overview of JS:

1. You Don't Know JS
2. Functional Paradigm for JS

We should add all non specific JS resources here as comments I guess?

DZone Article

I think this would be interesting to take a look at as maybe an auxiliary thing to the User Stories (creadits to Nuno and Juul who shoed it to me)
