Episode notes

Mentos and Coke was invented years before it became popular. Service workers are becoming more important on bigger web properties. A manifest file can be used for things like the icon when you install something to a desktop.

In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott look at the the Web Almanac’s report on the role of JavaScript on the web in 2022.
