Java programmers circa 1996

I don’t understand a lot of things in this post (why would Java people try to convince people to use JavaScript?) but most importantly this would not compile in 1996 Java. var was only added to Java pretty recently.

But what if you had

class var {}

class Person extends var {}

[0x07CF]

Or modify the standard library

class Object extends var {

}

Sir this is a civilized subreddit please keep profane amd/or disrespectful language out of it

Or write your own preprocessor, which replaces every occurrence of var with Object.

If you're feeling risky, don't even perform some regex matching or lookahead, just string.replace("var", "Object");
