JavaScript

(.)is a valid expression in Haskell. Normally it is the prefix form of the infix operator.that does function
composition.(.) (2*) (1+) 3=((2*) . (1+)) 3=2 * (1 + 3)=8.But, the most common use of the word "boob" in my experience in Haskell is the "boobs operator":
(.)(.). It's usage in Haskell is limited (tho valid), but it's appearance in racy ASCII art predates even the first versions on Haskell.The pioneers of ASCII art in the 70s and 80s are the unsung heroes of porn.

Of course. Nothing beats JS, oh guru mighty guru
So all you've mustered is some lame-ass ad-hominem? Have a good day

It's my favorite language too, but I also find this hilarious.

So, just don’t use JavaScript?
That's also my understanding: "Javascript is great because you can use other languages and then transpile them to JS."

It's because
+is two different operators and overloads based on the type to the left, while-is only a numeric operator and coerces left and right operands to numeric. But frankly if you're still using+for math or string concatenation in 2025, you're doing it wrong. -

It makes sense though

It's much better to make your own function that uses bitwise operations to do addition.
function add(a, b) { while (b !== 0) { // Calculate carry let carry = a & b; // Sum without carry a = a ^ b; // Shift carry to the left b = carry << 1; } return a; }(For certain definitions of better.)

Not really, considering Typescript only adds static types to JS. It's not a different language, it's an extension.
Since it needs to be compiled to JavaScript in order to be used, I kind of consider it a different language. Yes, it's a strict superset of JavaScript, but that makes it different.

Yeah, this looks dumb on the surface, but you've got bigger problems if you're trying to do math with strings
Better than doing physics with strings

Oh man machine language is so good, literally the best actually

The correct way to do it is to load a 500mb library that has an add function in it.

Yeah! Wasm is a thing. At least rust and go are pretty neat in the browser lately.
We should leave that pile of semantics and just go further with web development

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That's your prerogative, but it honestly doesn't make sense. Typescript adds almost no functionality to JS (and the few pieces it adds are now considered mistakes that shouldn't be used anymore). It only focuses on adding typing information, and in the future you'll be able to run TS that doesn't use those few added features as JS (see the proposal).
You can also add the TS types as comments in your JS code, which IMO shows that it's not a different language.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]JS itself is great, I prefer it to most other languages due to the flexibility that it allows. Adding types through TS to safeguard against footguns doesn't mean you're not still using JS. You can also add the types using comments instead if you prefer it, which means you're actually writing raw JS.

.... It does?

No, it just so happens I have a minute to talk about our lord and saviour JS. What is His holy and sacred mission?
