straight legs jeans instead of bell-bottom jeans because less fabric required. Hats have been replaced by caps, or just go without either, because we are mostly inside anyway. We still use suits, but it's not required. Most people use jeans, because SWE's can't afford wool.

Ohh, sorry, you mean JavaScript... const is the new var because Java programmers don't understand function scope. ()=>{} is the new function declaration because many people want to go back to Perl like syntax. class instead of prototype because Java programmers don't understand prototype. TypeScript instead of JavaScript because Java programmers can't live without type annotations and editor autocomplete. async/await instead of Promise because what we can't see (async code) can't hurt us. import instead of require because JetBean intellicense could not autocomplete dynamic require/imports.
