Arrow functions in JavaScript

-
Since their introduction arrow function have simplified how we declare functions in JavaScript arrow functions are similar to lambadas in kotlin programming language
Instead of writing a function as
function time (param){
    return Date.now()
}
You can simplify code by rewriting it as simply
let time (param) =>  {
    return Date.now()
}
Alternatively you can use a neatier syntax
let time = param => Date.now()
Arrow functions this context does not refer to their scope.

Removing bash.sh #hash comments from a string using regEx in JavaScript

-
Last night i was looking for a method to remove comments from a robots.txt file containing contents of form below `# robots.txt user-agent Disallow:` Or a more practical format obtained by splitting the robots.txt file line by line. ["# robots.txt", "user-agent", "Disallow:"] every element of the array is a string representing a single line of text from a robots.txt plain text file. Regular expression I used regular expression to strip out the unwanted text until the end of the line however it's not limited to robots.txt it works perfectly with bash.sh files as well. Example var string = "Disallow / #deny bots" string.replace(/#.*$/, "") // returns  Disallow / It simply strip's off all characters after the hash character until the end of the line.

So what's not to like about it. hmmmm think about it. that's too good to be true It's not a secret that "the only free cheese is served on a mouse trap" 1. "Downtime due to maintenance" Every now and then github pages websites undergo an annoying and imaginary maintenance that causes undesirable user experience especially for professional websites. 2.

"uninvited cloners" So you put your site out there few days later 50 clones uninvited unwelcom...
