Gender variability as declarations in JavaScript: const / let / var

Meme is based on Jordan Peterson “approival / disapproval” format, him being a conservative who disapproves of gender fluidity.

Transcript:

  • Jordan Peterson approval image: const gender;
  • Jordan Peterson angry image: let gender;
  • Jordan Peterson crying image: var gender;

Last one can be freely changed by anyone, the middle one still has some restraints.

var isn’t global unless it’s not inside a function. var is just function scoped, with declaration auto hoisted to the beginning of the function. let is a little more intuitive since you can’t refer to it before it’s been declared and has block scope rather than function scope.
