Nothing a cure moderate wounds couldn’t fix tbh

Clearly someone’s never been horny on main…

Javascript’s type coercion is rather insane, yes, but there is an actual, practical reason it’s done. JS, having been designed to be run in web browsers, wants to avoid blowing up and crashing at all costs. If it gets an unusual type comparison, usually the result of a bug, it tries to return something, such that the script can continue running if at all possible. In JS’ mentality, keeping a page running, even if it might not completely function properly, is preferable to throwing an unhandled exception and completely crashing it.

Whether or not that is the right approach is debatable, but there is at least some logic to it. Personally, I think that the proliferation of Node letting JS run outside of browsers exacerbates a lot of JS’ issues, but TypeScript does a lot to make it look like a more sensible language.

See the thing about the Epstein thing is that we actually have evidence for it. “Trump staged the shooting” is baseless speculation.

If Trump doesn’t know about it, how do they do the blood on the ear? Not even elite marksmen can reliably hit someone’s ear at that distance without risking actually hitting their head. If it were fake blood, Trump would have to be in on it.

And again, the shooter being right-wing almost entirely negated the propaganda advantage the GOP could gain from it, it doesn’t make sense for it to have been staged.

Let’s leave the conspiracy theories to the far-right lunatics, please. The attempt killed an innocent bystander and the shooter was a right-winger. Even if they were cynical enough to stage the first part on purpose (and honestly, I wouldn’t put it past them), the shooter being one of their own completely undermines the entire point of staging something like that to begin with.

Besides, this administration is way too incompetent to keep a secret. With the way Trump has been blundering his way through the Epstein accusations, do you really think he could keep his mouth shut about staging an assassination attempt?

“Let them fight.”

Could they have made the headline any more misleading??

The whitespace doesn’t bother me. Any IDE worth a damn will manage that for you. As for the type system, yeah, I strongly prefer static typing, but for simpler projects I can see the convenience of it.

My real issue with Python comes with managing a development environment when multiple developers are working on it. Dependency management in Python is a headache, and while in theory, virtual envs should help with synchronizing environments from machine to machine, I still find it endlessly fiddly with a bunch of things that can go wrong that are hard to diagnose.

Python is great for small scripts, proofs-of-concept, and such, but I wouldn’t write anything more heavy-duty than that in it.

No, your intuition is correct, this is extremely cursed.
