fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asgrim/year/master/en/currentYear')

// XMLHttpRequest
let xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open('GET', 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asgrim/year/master/en/currentYear', true);
xhr.onload = () => {
    if (xhr.status >= 200 && xhr.status < 300 || xhr.status === 304) {

BC Break

In the future, we may have to break BC by removing the root "currentYear". You should use "en/currentYear" instead.
