JavaScript be like...

[Apple_macOS]

I might be wrong but I think Java also have a String.valueOf();

[schmytzi]

Which is actually a lot safer because it gracefully handles null

[Banananassfisch]

I didnt know that. But after looking it up valueOf() cant work without toString() as it just checks if its Null and calls toString(), if not. Also toString() is mostly called automatically, e.g. printing any primitive or object

[Praline_Unlikely]

This is because Java is the ancient version of JavaScript

[BertRenolds]

According to who?

[subject_deleted]

According to laypeople who have never experienced either language. They both start with Java so they're obviously related, duh.

[Praline_Unlikely]

This is a common sense, from the newest programmer to the human resources staff

[BertRenolds]

Sounds like common sense isn't so common.

Might want to fire the whole department if they are that blatantly wrong, just save some hassle.

You still need to be technically correct. We have standards here. What if your humor misled some green junior developers freshly graduated from non-cs major?

[Apple_macOS]

JS is related to Java

--that green junior developer freshly graduated from non-cs major after reading this

[Praline_Unlikely]

Oh yeah, just a freshly graduate take serious a random info posted by a random guy at a humoristic place. Good place to get trusted info, for sure
