Strict mode changes previously accepted "bad syntax" into real errors.
As an example, in normal JavaScript, mistyping a variable name creates a
new global variable. In strict mode, this will throw an error, making it
impossible to accidentally create a global variable.
In normal JavaScript, a developer will not receive any error feedback assigning
values to non-writable properties.
In strict mode, any assignment to a non-writable property, a getter-only
property, a non-existing property, a non-existing variable, or a non-existing
object, will throw an error.
Strict mode makes it easier to write "secure" JavaScript.
