@vaporeon_ yes!!! I love cursed evil high-order functions give me all the functions

@vaporeon_ yeah java is stinky

@vaporeon_ it means a function can be passed directly to another function, or a function can return a function

@vaporeon_ I should have said that the syntax is C-inspired

@vaporeon_ we had to write javascript somehow

@vaporeon_ its like C but with closures, functions as first class objects, and very poor language design :]

@vaporeon_ no, The Truth is that clodsire is a whale

@vaporeon_ cause javascript sucks

@vaporeon_ i love javascript but its only practical on modern architecture

i dont know why anyone would ever use it for any embedded situation. that is a horrible idea in my opinion but game developers do it anyway so they can employ their web developers to build their UIs

(battlefield 1, a game i love, used react to make their game UI and the battlefield 1 UI has softlocked my game dozens of times because this is a horrible idea that barely works)

@vaporeon_ I'm not sure I should have said that Duktape is "usually used to put javascript in game engines". I only said that because I know that game developers actually do this (for some reason) although I don't know what embedded engine they actually use

@vaporeon_ javascript is only "fast" when its heavy. if you make it lightweight then its going to be slow as fuck

NodeJS and Deno are built on V8, the engine that google chrome uses. I believe Bun uses JavaScriptCore

Duktape, in order to keep its footprint light, doesn't implement most modern javascript featues starting from 2015

@vaporeon_ that's typically used to embed javascript in a videogame engine but you could use it for a backend, especially if you need something lightweight (and are also using javascript??????)

@vaporeon_ reported.

also they almost always use node.js (even though Deno is 1000000000% better)

@vaporeon_ @The_T reported.

@vaporeon_ javascript regex should be good but its clunky

I still think the "what's brown and sticky" joke is comedy genius

@Satsuma no I wasn't

@Satsuma I tried one spoonful of the soup just to make sure it wasn't disgusting but that was all
