minus-squareinvalidusernamelol [he/him]hexbear10·edit-23 years agoI still think JS is an incredibly useful language, but god damn is the concept of "truthy" and "falsey" just insane. link
minus-squareMoreLikeSexbearLmao [he/him]hexbear7·3 years agoI disagree, I think python handles it pretty well. JS just has some pretty bad rules for truthiness. In python: numbers are truthy if they're non-zero containers and strings are truthy if they are non-empty a regex result is truthy if it matched something the None object is not truthy custom objects are truthy by default, but you can define the thruthiness function link
