Rewrite JS in modern-ish (ES6 or newer) Javascript #403
Description
Frankly a lot of the JavaScript on the site needs love, and in addition to being written better, it should also make use of modern JS (ES6 or newer). It could also use documentation. This will make future maintenance easier, and since eventually this site will end up migrated to some kind of React / TypeScript whatever future thing, the best we can do for now is clean up things to get ready.
Changes will be put in the python3 branch
Key changes:
- Use arrow functions, functional programming (map, etc.), let/const, spreading, template strings
- Fix line length and tabs, use long line breaks where necessary in strings
