minus-square@jjjalljs@ttrpg.networklinkfedilink35•23 hours agoJavascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.
minus-squareVictorlinkfedilink-3•edit-220 hours agoBut you’re calling a function specifically made for passing a string to an int… 😆 There’s gotta be some common sense somewhere here, guys. Still, it’s a very good point. JS should do this. I would suspect one reason it doesn’t do this is to be backwards compatible.
minus-square@listlesslink2•12 hours agoAnd god fucking forbid that common sense be in the language. Who the fuck needs a language with common sense, amirite?
minus-square@heavy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish-3•22 hours agoTheoretically, Javascript is an untyped language, so there aren’t supposed to really be static types. Giving type errors in this situation would be against design.
minus-square@heavy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish5•22 hours agoLol you’ll get no argument from me. It’s not my favorite language.
minus-square@bleistift2@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglish5•19 hours agoJavaScript has types and it does have type errors, for instance > null.foo Uncaught TypeError: null has no properties Please stop spouting nonsense on issues you know nothing about.
minus-square@heavy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish-3•19 hours agoDynamic types aren’t static types my man. I think you got some learning to do.
minus-square@heavy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish0•8 hours agoLol like facilitate versus effectuate
minus-square@zqwzzle@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish-2•20 hours ago Theoretically, Javascript is an untyped language… Function only handles string arguments correctly. Wat.

Maybe the design is bad, then.

You did say untyped though.
