I think people are missing the point. This isn't as much about ES6 as it is about DDG. For example:<p>- <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=emacs+cheatsheet&ia=cheatsheet&iax=1" rel="nofollow">https://duckduckgo.com/?q=emacs+cheatsheet&ia=cheatsheet&iax...</a><p>- <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vim+cheatsheet&ia=answer&iax=1" rel="nofollow">https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vim+cheatsheet&ia=answer&iax=1</a>
I actually switched back to DuckDuckGo because I've found it's a better way to use Google than google.com<p>The cheat sheets and the bang commands are awesome. The no tracking by default is obviously a great benefit.<p>When the results are not as good, or I have a feeling Google will do it better, I just prefix with !g in the search bar and with no additional hassle I have myself a Google search.<p>My search engine life has never been this good.
Honestly, I've been using DuckDuckGo exclusively for a few years now, and I still don't use even half of the bangs or instant answer features. Occasionally the Wikipedia summaries are what I'm looking for, or I'll !define something.<p>My point being, even without the power user features, it's just a great search engine for everyday use.
For those that are looking for a reason to try DDG out:<p>I use the DDG plugin for firefox (<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-for-firefox/?src=userprofile" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-fo...</a>) -- and I get to type things like:<p>!hn duckduckgo<p>!python multiprocessing<p>!ud swagtron<p>in my addressbar and get pretty quick amazing access to a bunch of sites I know about on the internet without setting up my own custom search options on the browser itself. It has saved me tons of time and is an awesome feature.<p>Of course, there are more reasons to choose DDG, but I remember being pretty wowed when I first saw someone else use the one I just mentioned
Are single quotes the preferred way of making strings nowadays then? It seems to be pretty common among new JS frameworks/libraries source code that I see nowadays.<p><pre><code> var asdf = "asdf";
</code></pre>
vs<p><pre><code> var asdf = 'asdf';
</code></pre>
I really haven't been doing any JS programming for quite a while now.
Total side bar, but I always thought their brand name held them back. It really doesn't roll off the tongue in a way conducive to becoming a verb (ie. "Let me DuckDuckGo it" vs. "Let me Google it").<p>Curious how everyone else finds themselves working the brand name into discussions.
Here's a useful list of other shortcuts that DuckDuckGo provides: <a href="http://techglimpse.com/duck-duck-go-search-engine-goodies-tricks/" rel="nofollow">http://techglimpse.com/duck-duck-go-search-engine-goodies-tr...</a><p>Some of my favorites:<p>expand [shortened URL] - (ex: expand <a href="http://tinyurl.com/urlwiki" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/urlwiki</a>) - See where a shortened URL points to<p>password [length] [weak/strong] - (ex: password 15 strong) - Generate a password of n characters (with the usual disclaimer about generating passwords from a website)

duckduckgo simply gets better everytime and I've made it my default search engine. And like someone mentioned, if I find the results inadequate, I just !g it.
Wow, cool feature from DuckDuckGo, it seems to be working well.
If you want more detailed cheatsheet for ES6 <a href="https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet</a> is a good one, I believe.
Is this cheatsheet, and similar ones for other languages, somehow dynamically generated by DDG, or are they just producing and maintaining this content themselves? If the former, bravo! If the latter I fail to see how this is a scaleable approach for a search engine?
If you're interesting in ES6, I highly recommend Exploring JS (<a href="http://exploringjs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://exploringjs.com/</a>)
Tried the Golang cheatsheet, the rendering is broken. lots of <br> tags<p><a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=golang+cheatsheet&ia=answer&iax=1" rel="nofollow">https://duckduckgo.com/?q=golang+cheatsheet&ia=answer&iax=1</a>
