I think a lot about how Battlefield 1's menus were written in JavaScript so they could have their web developers build a videogame UI
The actually used React to make a game UI. Why.
The PS4 doesn't allow just-in-time compilation so you don't get the performance a modern javascript engine normally guarantees so on what planet is this a good idea
@wallhackio The JavaScript Planet, a dystopian world where JavaScript is the only programming language ever invented
@vaporeon_ I love JavaScript, so delete this please
@vaporeon_ I love JavaScript, so delete this please
@wallhackio How do I deallocate memory / destroy an object in JavaScript? So that I can delete this?
@vaporeon_ npm install memory-management
@wallhackio Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 
And in standard JavaScript? No NPM?
@vaporeon_ it was a joke lmao
@wallhackio But can you do any memory management in JavaScript?
const deleteThis = () => {
const temp = { _this: this };
delete temp._this;
};
@aescling @vaporeon_ this will NOT do what it's being promised to do, this is a joke
@wallhackio @aescling What will it do?
@vaporeon_ @aescling it will create an object with a single property named _this that has the value of whatever this was where the arrow function was declared
and then it will delete that property from the object
javascript wonkery
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ fur the record, the following alternative implementation is subtly but meaningfully diffurent:
const deleteThis = function() {
const temp = { _this: this };
delete temp._this;
};
arrow functions and functions defined with the function keyword have intentionally diffurent rules about resolving this
