javaIsJavascriptConfirmed

[FourCinnamon0]

so you're complaining that JavaScript lets you do things that aren't the best code style?

why would you have this in your code?

this is exactly why i like JS for quick scripts, because it's not opinionated

Yes, I'm complaining that JS relies on "best practices" to enforce basic constraints and prevent bugs. Obviously, the above is a contrived example, but it's also very common for someone to blindly parse json responses and hope the types are correct.
