javascript is a perfectly fine language that you should only touch if someone is paying you

@crobbler then you need to either be paid more or find a more comfortable language. maybe both

@yujiri they've still got little caveats and minor differences, so it's not just "download the script" and six more packaging systems.

I finally gave in and just followed the install guide on their discord that required me to install a bunch of software on my laptop that is running out of space.
it compiled for 10 minutes and then immediately threw an error when I went to localhost:8080

if you tell a foone "do this javascript thing and don't complain about it online" then you'll have a foone staring at a command line prompt for 8 hours without getting anything done

anyway the code (at least the part I care about, the main bit is unfixably buggered as far as I can tell) finally ran, now I just need to write some of my own typescript.

@foone The other day @evan posted a poll about "If your employer had a Mastodon server for staff, would you use it?" and I just want to say that if a company had a Mastodon server where all their engineers posted foone-style rants, I would be 1000% more likely to give that company my business.

@glyph no we can't have ints.
I think that might be a useful way to divide programming languages: will they give you an int, or are all numbers doubles in some way?

@foone i didn't write it as something serious, but in my opinion, it's better for websites to have some basic functionality when people browse with more basic web browsers.
calling someone a homophobe is bad (unless they're actually a homophobe, of course) :neocat_floof_sad:In conversation permalink
