What is the reason behind the increasing trend of using single quotes '
instead of double quotes "
around string
in JavaScript? Are there minification or linting tools that adhere to the convention of using double quotes for strings and single quotes for characters, similar to Java, C, and C++? Alternatively, does this practice stem from PHP or Bash, where double quoted strings are more resource-intensive than single quoted strings?
I have noticed that files created with double quotes generally compress better when using gzip (for transmission over the internet) because double quotes appear more frequently, making them more favorable for Huffman coding.
