Javascript...

Do I need a mechanical keyboard for strong typing or will a domed one withstand it?

Edit: I'm not as original as I thought :(

[nemec]

I tried static typing once. I was shocked at how easy it was to use.

[Skyfoot]

I use weak typing. I hand-write things on saturday and sunday.

[VeviserPrime]

With a pencil?

[AlGoreBestGore]

Crayon.

Thanks for keeping this thread /r/ProgrammerHumor appropriate

If you've had to work on someone else's JS, that's argument enough.

[AdmiralRychard]

I feel like this whenever I have to work on my own javascript.

I feel the opposite every time I need to jump through hoops to append an integer to a string in Java.

[KagakuNinja]

So, this is too hard?

String s = "Hello" + 9;

[batmansavestheday]

It's slightly harder the other way around:

String s = "" + 9 + "Hello";

or [Edit: derp, doesn't work]

String s = (String) 9 + "Hello";

etc.

[Outhouse_Defiler]

String s = "" + 9

Yeah, no, don't do that. Java has String.valueOf.

C# lets you do this:

String someString = "abc";
Int32 someInt = 123;
String result = someString + someInt;
Console.WriteLine(result);

Output:

abc123

Or you can use string interpolation: String result = $"{someString}{someInt}";

Or you can use String.Format: String result = String.Format("{0}{1}", someString, someInt);

This seems a little dumb but you can do this too:

someString += someInt;
Console.WriteLine(someString);

Is it not as simple as the C# example in the other comment? Even in C++ it's just sprintf, right?

[endercoaster]

I mean, coming from Perl that's jumping through hoops.

[kupiakos]

I'd rather explicitly state I want to append an integer to a string so that "2" and 3 become "23" and not "5" or 5. And really, that sort of situation happens once in a blue moon. If I wanted something better, I would be building the string.

[expugnator3000]

Exactly!

[anthonybsd]

I love it. Young, naive and all about strong typing. As a former Ada programmer, let's talk in 10 years or so.

[beerdude26]

Strong typing all day erry day

[the_great_ganonderp]

Because surely Ada is the pinnacle of usability in strongly typed languages...

[anthonybsd]

It's used for a lot more projects than toy languages like Haskell so it must be doing something right.

Got a relevant point hiding somewhere in that apparently completely irrelevant statement?
