minus-square@jjjalljs@ttrpg.networklinkfedilink0•5 days agoJavascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.
minus-squareVictorlinkfedilink0•edit-25 days 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@listless@lemmy.cringecollective.iolinkfedilink0•5 days 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.workslinkfedilinkEnglish0•5 days 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@bleistift2@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglish0•5 days 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.workslinkfedilinkEnglish0•5 days agoDynamic types aren’t static types my man. I think you got some learning to do.
minus-square@heavy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish0•4 days agoLol like facilitate versus effectuate
minus-square@zqwzzle@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish0•5 days ago Theoretically, Javascript is an untyped language… Function only handles string arguments correctly. Wat.
minus-square@heavy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish0•5 days agoLol you’ll get no argument from me. It’s not my favorite language.

You did say untyped though.

Maybe the design is bad, then.
