javascript confession: I try and use `in` every time, before remembering it’s `of`

Fran C BrusaThis helps me remember:
-In for Objects
-Of for Iterators
(I4O, O4I)
You have to invert the initial letter. It’s still confusing but it helps once you remember it

Dmitrii KartashevYeah, to me it's very counterintuitive. Clearly, "element of array" and "property in object", right? Wrong!
1Dmitrii KartashevHa! I think I reversed it, lol. Oh well
Literally Tina Belcher 🏳️⚧️I have to look it up every time, which is definitely a code smell
esmevane, sorryeven now, looking at this, knowing you prefer one, and knowing it's probably the one i prefer, i can't remember which is which
warpforkI learned this for the first time, and the hard way, about a week ago.
Would say it cost me at least a week of insanity and going down other wrong paths before I even realized both constructs exist. 🤦
1warpfork(I started using the forEach methods on Map, which dodges the issue........ Right up until you need to do an async thing in the callback. Then... Then you're just hosed, afaict. I finally found the "of" construct by sheer accident, after ripping out hair wondering where asyncForEach was... 🫠)
Phazedon't worry, you're not the only one.
m0n90053 🦋I can't advise you concerning your js syntax, but in English that would be 'to', not 'and'. If I'm niggling, fine, but it gets me not quite as much as when people say 'less' for 'fewer'.
