I'll take a quack at this, but I don't know what the flock I'm talking about. I don't wish to run afowl of the admins here, as they may drake me over the coals. Migrate contribution to this thread is to stop paddling these puns as if they actually fit the bill.

Give a man a fire, keep him warm for a night.
Set a man on fire, keep him warm for the rest of his life.

I'd like to inquire if you are sewing a web of intrigue? Or is some other dodge the point?

C#: var foo = "foo";
JS: let foo = "foo";
or:
let foo = 'foo';
C#: var s = $"Foo = {foo}";
JS: let s = Foo = `${foo}`;
C#: int Fnc(string a)
TS: fnc(a: string): number
C#: braces are on separate lines
JS: opening brace is on the same line.
C#: if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(foo))
JS: if (foo)
C#: Reverse(foo);
JS: this.reverse(foo);
or even worse: this.reverse(this.foo);
Half the time I wrote the wrong syntax for the wrong language.

There was a time when i could write Univac assembler code with only minimal reference to the OS reference manual. Modern languages are now so feature rich you need the SDK reference almost every few lines. Or maybe I am just not very good at it.

A find a blend of Google and Intellisense works for me - but yes, I take your point the framework is massive. Assembler is much more interesting to the likes of me though.

I can do both And both are continual "doing it better" experiences. That never ends, no matter how many years I've done development. Not only because of course the language features evolve.

Or, if you get the quotes in the right place:
let s = `Foo = ${foo}`;

Actually, in C#, braces can be on the same line, a different line, or whatever you call the abomination of a formatting style that @OriginalGriff prefers. 
JS mostly doesn't care. It's only an issue with things like return { ... };, where putting the opening brace on a new line confuses the parser into thinking it's two statements with a missing semicolon after return.

Aside from the opening brace belonging on the same line as functions, conditionals, &etc., which is a well established and eternal truth, I have a question:
Using javaScript, I have never used 'let' to introduce a symbol declaration. I have used 'var'. Aside from some sort of visual distinction, does it serve any value.

Yes, variables declared using let[^] and const[^] behave differently to those declared using var. The MDN documentation does a pretty good job of explaining the difference.
