@wallhackio @vaporeon_ lmao

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ you would purrobably like go if you think like that

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio if you purrogram enough with pass-by-refurence languages you just get used to it ​

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio oh lol

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ yeah you don’t have pointer arithmetic at all in js. basically all implementations are using pointers under the hood and just not allowing the purrogrammer to manipulate the address they point to

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio yup

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ ​

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio

const o = { k: 1 };

function changeObj(o) {
  o.k = 2
};

changeObj(o);
console.log(o);  // { k: 2 }

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio yeah basically

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ what gets deleted is the refurence

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ not a copy but a refurence

@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

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @monorail makes her sound like a very tall elementary school teacher

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @monorail “Ms. Glaceon”

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ ​

@vaporeon_ in sonic x they kinda just do characterize him like an aloof sort of cat

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio no
