Keeping with the theme, let's talk about Javascript.

Code: Select all

> typeof Nan
"number"

Code: Select all

> typeof Nan
"number"

I have a feeling this will be the case in many languages. Since it's kind of a property of a number to be.. not one..

"number"

it's also of a property of ieee-754

so, wait for it, lua also does it

Enough making fun of languages that suck, let's talk about Javascript!

Code: Select all

> Array(16)
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
> Array(16).join("wat")
watwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwat

(That's actually the only line in this entire presentation that's reasonable...)

Code: Select all

> Array(16).join("wat" - 1) + " Batman!"
NaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaN Batman!

I almost died.

Ah yes JavaScript. That thing that gave me a lot of headaches in the era of Microsoft-Netscape browser wars. But enough making fun of languages that suck, let's talk about JavaScript!

1995 - Brendan Eich reads up on every mistake ever made in designing a programming language, invents a few more, and creates LiveScript. Later, in an effort to cash in on the popularity of Java the language is renamed JavaScript. Later still, in an effort to cash in on the popularity of skin diseases the language is renamed ECMAScript.
