Heh... but Javascript is so permissive you can just start writing psuedocode and it'll probably be valid!

const notThree = 1 + '2';

And it will do... something.

Perhaps more than one thing, who can know?

Hello World isn't that difficult to write.

He never said it had to be a useful program.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People should be able to do this, at least for simple programs. We used to do it all the time.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Everyone should be able to do a hello world without IDE

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

Sorry bro, if you think JavaScript is difficult, then you're just too weak.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

NP, dude. As someone who learned JavaScript in the dark ages, when IE had to be a consideration for everything you did, writing a JS program now is trivial.

MDN ftw, screw stackoverflow.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

MDN is better at everything than w3school, except for SEO.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah... Then again I just use the DuckDuckGo bang !mdn and it searches MDN directly.

There's also devdocs.io which can be indispensable when using a lot of popular utility libraries and frameworks in the same project. Just having a single page with all the relevant docs is just a real blessing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Any time I need to learn something about JS, I go to W3Schools to wrap my head around the basics, then over to MDN for current best practice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I remember visiting W3S like 10-15 years ago when first learning DOM manipulation etc at uni. But nowadays there's nothing it can give me that MDN can't, that I need to know.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

I think I'd be okay up until you pulled intellisense, at which point I would literally deflate like a balloon.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Dude JS is ez cmon.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do it in php and say its JavaScript, most people don't even know that there is a difference.

"Every time you try to run your code the pendulum will drop lower until...."

Extremely loud crash as pendulum is rocketed into the ground by all the failed run attempts

Var x = 1+"two"

Console.Log(x)

Done! I did it. I wrote a program.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not gonna run with those capital letters

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

It was never specified to run without errors.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago
console.log("You had one job.");
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Do people not read books anymore?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He got so upset he put on glasses and grew facial hair!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Because that’s how long he’s been trying to solve it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

var a = 0

Done

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Just used he internet archive to open stackoverflow

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Ok... He didn't say it had to be complicated or anything. Just make a magic 8 ball.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

hey, an empty file is also a valid program. it does nothing. (like me :p)
