if you had paid attention, there simply is no convention for
javascript. a paper published here or some house rules there do not
produce a convention. a natural convergence in the community driven by
consensus of relevant players resulting in general adoption
does. neither exist in the jAvAscripT community nowadays, now matter how
loud and often you may rant.

there are some guidelines, though. even some with very good points, but
they simply don't catch on enough and are still competing. my guess is
that JAVAscript (as in ' taken seriously') is too new, and javaScript
ecosystem is simply too diverse. personally, i consider this a
plus. after 25 years of coding professionaly in about a dozen
programming languages i'm truly fed up with conventions. code and let
code, man. just do it.
