Another day of being extremely thankful I decided not to learn JavaScript

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 170 points 2 years ago

I mean, the people relying on such packages didn't learn it either.

Look at what you're missing!

Edit: also, is-odd depends on is-number

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

These are both made by the same person from this PR (who also made both the package the PR is on, and the is-number package that is being removed as a dep)

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

Heaven forbid they make a package is-even-or-odd with both. Wait. Don't give them ideas. They'll just make it depend on both.

This can happen in any project that uses dependencies, javascript or not

I only glossed over it… but this looks like it’s trying to check dynamic typing issues? It’s like a statically typed language with extra steps?

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 38 points 2 years ago

I don't think typescript exists because JavaScript wasn't designed to be statically typed. I think Typescript exists because JavaScript wasn't really designed, period.

How’s the view up there on your high horse?

Must be pretty good, considering literally every time I check in on the JavaScript community it is somehow more on fire than it was last time. I guess I must have a front row seat to all their misfortune. Either that or they're just incompetent, but it couldn't be that, could it?
