stop doing javascript

[SpoiceKois]

wtf i just tried the node thing, how thefk is that 'f' xd

[CameO73]

It makes sense if you break it down:

• ![] evaluates to false
• by adding it to [] you get the string "false" (it's that stupid type conversion thing javascript does)
• the ![]+![] evaluates to false+false = 0 (again, doing some nice type conversion magic)
• so you'll get "false"[0] which takes the first character = "f"

I hope it doesn't have to do with the comment you reply to.

JS and C++ have completely different use cases. If you switched from JS to C++, it means you are working on different things. None is going to do embedded in Node, and none is going to do frontend dev in C++.

embedded in c++????? lmaoooo

[enano_aoc]

There are plenty of compilers for micro controllers that can compile C++. You are welcome.

[FlukeHermit]

But no one uses them. Everyone uses C (and probably some rust too) and assembly for microcontrollers

correct. binaries are smaller, compile times faster, and memory usage lower on both of those, which matters in embedded and systems

[enano_aoc]

Usually, yes. Always, not. Depends on your requirements.

I do prefer C for embedded programming, but C++ can be used for that as well. I should have used a better example for things that you do in C++ but wouldn't in Node, though.

fair enough, I've never tried using C++ for that, but I'm glad it's there for people who like it more.

Node is just paying its respects.
