        That’s why I said ESLint

        It’s a Linter for JavaScript. Some people. Might not know what ESLint is that’s why is its in brackets

          That’s from ESLint, not javascript itself. JS doesn’t care about unused variables

              ESLint won’t prevent you from running your code, which is what the OP is on about. Hence the confusion in this thread.

                Oh it will. At least in combination with Vue. At least that’s the default. Of cause you can disable it.

                  You’re describing many things that are not JavaScript the language. If you create and use tools that will stop you then yes they will stop you.

                    I said ESLint. Not Javascript. ESLint is a linter for JavaScript. That’s why I put JavaScript in brackets. Some people don’t know what ESLint is. I’m talking about ESLint the whole time. Its not JavaScript specific but it’s mostly used for JavaScript

                    You yourself are talking about ESLint. You said that ESLint won’t prevent me from creating unused variables and functions when it clearly does. It won’t even run and throw an error

                    Edit: ohh it’s a Lemmy bug. The comment didn’t update yet. Originally I said “ES6” then I changed it to “JavaScript” and then I changed it to “ESLint (JavaScript)”
