# JavaScript Language Patterns
## **Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)**
## Implementation Guidelines
- **Variables**: const default. let if needed. No var — block scope only.
- **Functionality**: Use **`Arrow Functions`** for callbacks/inlines; **`Function Declaration`** for core logic.
- **Async Logic**: Use async/await with try/catch and Promise.all() for parallel operations. ESM import/export only. No Callbacks — promisify everything.
- **Modern Syntax**: Use Destructuring, Spread (...), Optional Chain ?. and Nullish ?? coalescing.
- **String Handling**: Use **`Template Literals`** (backticks) for interpolation and multi-line strings.
- **Data Collections**: Prefer **`map`**, **`filter`**, and **`reduce`** over imperative `for` loops.
- **Modules**: Standardize on ESM import/export; use Named Exports over Default.
- **Encapsulation**: Leverage **`#private`** class fields for encapsulation.
- **Error States**: Throw **`new Error()`** with descriptive messages; never throw strings.
## Anti-Patterns
- No var — Block scope only.
- **No `==`**: Strict `===`.
- **No `new Object()`**: Use literals `{}`.
- No Callbacks: Promisify everything.
- **No Mutation**: Immutability first.

## Canonical response anchors
When this skill applies, preserve the following domain terminology or equivalent concrete examples in the answer when relevant:
- ESM import/export
- No Callbacks
- No var
- Nullish ??
- Optional Chain ?.
- async/await
- const default
- let if needed
- user?.profile?.name
- Additional task-grounded exact anchors: try/catch
