This mode has been developed by the ECMAScript5 specification. It essentially serves to put additional security and clear syntax measures in front of your code. I'll go through a couple examples of what 'use strict' changes Restricting undeclared variables If I use 'use strict' in a js file and do not declare a variable, I will get an error: No More Implied Global Variables OOB Js allows for Global Variables - meaning you can declare a variable in one file and use it in another without properly instantiating as a new object in the second file. This just makes proper prototypal inheritance cleaner.  Fail Loud, Fail ...
