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

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 174 points 3 months 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 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 7 points 3 months 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

Sure, but when was the last time you saw, say, a Python project using some third-party library instead of simply calling isnumeric() from the standard library?

There's a reason for these jokes always being about Javascript.

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 3 months 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.
