Heh... but Javascript is so permissive you can just start writing psuedocode and it'll probably be valid!

Like Dave from Storage Wars?

const notThree = 1 + '2';

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And it will do... something.

[–] whodatdair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Perhaps more than one thing, who can know?

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.run 32 points 5 months ago (1 children)

People should be able to do this, at least for simple programs. We used to do it all the time.

[–] NatoBoram@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

Everyone should be able to do a hello world without IDE

[–] teletext@reddthat.com 31 points 5 months ago

Sorry bro, if you think JavaScript is difficult, then you're just too weak.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago

Hello World isn't that difficult to write.

He never said it had to be a useful program.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

NP, dude. As someone who learned JavaScript in the dark ages, when IE had to be a consideration for everything you did, writing a JS program now is trivial.

MDN ftw, screw stackoverflow.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

MDN is better at everything than w3school, except for SEO.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah... Then again I just use the DuckDuckGo bang !mdn and it searches MDN directly.

There's also devdocs.io which can be indispensable when using a lot of popular utility libraries and frameworks in the same project. Just having a single page with all the relevant docs is just a real blessing.

[–] Redkey@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Any time I need to learn something about JS, I go to W3Schools to wrap my head around the basics, then over to MDN for current best practice.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I remember visiting W3S like 10-15 years ago when first learning DOM manipulation etc at uni. But nowadays there's nothing it can give me that MDN can't, that I need to know.

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 months ago

I think I'd be okay up until you pulled intellisense, at which point I would literally deflate like a balloon.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

Dude JS is ez cmon.

"Every time you try to run your code the pendulum will drop lower until...."

Extremely loud crash as pendulum is rocketed into the ground by all the failed run attempts

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Var x = 1+"two"

Console.Log(x)

Done! I did it. I wrote a program.

[–] NaiveBayesian@programming.dev 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Not gonna run with those capital letters

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 3 points 5 months ago

It was never specified to run without errors.

[–] 0000@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago
console.log("You had one job.");
[–] magi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Do people not read books anymore?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He got so upset he put on glasses and grew facial hair!

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Because that’s how long he’s been trying to solve it

hello world (: (smiley being the wrong way was on purpose)

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

var a = 0

Done

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

Just used he internet archive to open stackoverflow

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 5 months ago

Ok... He didn't say it had to be complicated or anything. Just make a magic 8 ball.

[–] blek@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

hey, an empty file is also a valid program. it does nothing. (like me :p)
