I do think it is meant to be a catchy marketing play on "You Don't Know X" but the author also describes it as a reference to the fact that "knowing" JavaScript can only ever be temporal: No matter how much you feel you've mastered JavaScript to this point, the truth is that JavaScript is never going to stop evolving, and moreover, the rate of evolution is increasing rapidly. This fact is almost a metaphor for the spirit of this series, to embrace that we'll never fully know every part of JS, because as soon as you master it all, there's going to be new stuff coming down the line that you'll need to learn.[1] [1] From Ch. 3 "Into YDKJS" of the first book Up & Going: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/up%20... |
