		TehShrike on March 7, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Eloquent JavaScript 4th edition (2024) How recently have you read it? I thought it was a worthwhile read when I first read it 12 years ago, but I picked it up to skim a couple years ago and was struck with how much of it was irrelevant for modern JS due to changes in the language spec.

In that sense an annotated "this is what JS used to be when this book first came out" version could be of historical interest.
