I would like to petition JSLand to please let go of the word "use" and all of its derivatives. Cool feature though, looking forward to using (smh) it.


They're just adopting the same syntax that C# has used for a long time


Ok, but it doesn't make it any less meaningless.

async, await, let, var, const, try, catch, yield are all meaningful and precise keywords

"use" "using" on the other hand is not a precise word at all. To any non c# person it could be used to replace any of the above words!
