💯% accurate. funny how the typescript developer thinks this is some kind of “gotcha!”… like maybe just try a language besides typescript and find out for yourself 😆
That’s such a weird take. Who cares what another language does? Your complaint was about typescript. Which lets the programmer decide what this should be. As you could have known.
But most likely it was just trolling. On the plus side, at least now I know that the rigid minded devs came here too, and took their righteousness with them.
Exactly. Most languages I know of that allow this at all will coerce the “1” to an integer and give x = 2. They get away with this because they define the “+” operator as taking numbers only as arguments, so if you hand them x = x + "cheese" they’ll error out.
Type error unless there’s an implementation of
+that specifies adding together and integer and a string.💯% accurate. funny how the typescript developer thinks this is some kind of “gotcha!”… like maybe just try a language besides typescript and find out for yourself 😆

“brought” 😏
my complaint is that typescript is stupid, yes. so why wouldn’t i compare to what other languages do that is less stupid?

OCaml 😍
