2024 · JavaScript migration to ES6

About this page
- The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
- The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 29 July 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
- Measured at commit fe38cf91e0 — the exact code this score is about.
- Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
