Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
   Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

So there were a few threads going around recently about a challenge to write the longest sequence of keywords in Javascript:

• https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19102367

There are, however, a few problems:

• These solutions use non-keyword tokens (null, true, false are actually Literals, not Keywords)
• One of the solutions isn't quite valid (new super)

Strings

String.prototype.*

None of the string methods modify this – they always return fresh strings.

• charAt(pos: number): string ^ES1

  Returns the character at index pos, as a string (JavaScript does not have a datatype for characters). str[i] is equivalent to str.charAt(i) and more concise (caveat: may not work on old engines).

In Haskell we can define Monoid instances like this:

instance Monoid b => Monoid (Identity b) where
  mempty = mempty
  mappend (Identity a) (Identity b) = Identity (a `mappend` b)

instance (Monoid a, Monoid b) => Monoid (Pair a b) where

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
