Starting with Java 21 (I think), they’ve introduced ignored variables, so you can now actually do this:

try {
    operation();
} catch (Exception _) {
    // nice weather, eh?
}

Edit: forgot that this is about JS lel

If your joking yes, if your not Java and Java Script are seperate things.

Actually made this mistake in front of 20 people the other day. Guy at my job mentioned coding in java and I asked if he was doing web dev 🤦

@BangersAndMash@lemmy.world · edit-2 4 months ago

Plenty of java back end web development, so maybe not as embarrassing as you felt?

His joking?

@jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works · 4 months ago

So basically the same as a discard in C#?

Yeah, Python has it as well. I think the only real use of it is code readability since you declare that this variable will never be used.
