minus-squarejjjalljs@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoJavascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.
minus-squareheavy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoTheoretically, Javascript is an untyped language, so there aren’t supposed to really be static types. Giving type errors in this situation would be against design.
minus-squarebleistift2@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoJavaScript has types and it does have type errors, for instance > null.foo Uncaught TypeError: null has no properties Please stop spouting nonsense on issues you know nothing about.

minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-210 months agoBut you’re calling a function specifically made for passing a string to an int… 😆 There’s gotta be some common sense somewhere here, guys. Still, it’s a very good point. JS should do this. I would suspect one reason it doesn’t do this is to be backwards compatible.

Maybe the design is bad, then.
