### Variable declarations

`var`

* function scoped
* can be redeclared and updated
* hoisted and initialized with `undefined` as a value

`let`

* block scoped
* declaring in a for loop, inside an if or in a plain block is not going to let the variable "escape" the block
* only use `let` to reassign the variable
* while `let` and `const` are hoisted but not initialized

`const`

* immutable
* block-scoped
* default to `const`

### Promises

When you go to a restaurant, the hostess gives you a buzzer for your table. When the table is ready, the buzzer buzzes. You respond by sitting at the table.

The buzzer is a promise. It buzzes when the promise resolves, or is ready. The buzz is your handler.

```javascript
var buzzer = new Promise();

fetchTableAsync(hostess => {
    var table = hostess.prepareTable();
    hostess.informServer();
    buzzer.resolve(table);
});

buzzer.then(table => me.sitAtTable(table));
```

### Currying

Currying is a process to reduce functions of more than one argument to functions of one argument with the help of lambda calculus.

```javascript
multiply = (n, m) => (n * m)
multiply(3, 4) === 12 // true

curryedMultiply = (n) => ( (m) => multiply(n, m) )
triple = curryedMultiply(3)
triple(4) === 12 // true
```
