i would say why would you just not to isAdmin = true but i also worked with someone who did just this so i'll instead just sigh.

also the real crime is the use of javascript tbh

That's TypeScript. I can tell by the pixels defining a type above.

Was looking at it and could not figure out why their weren't any semicolon's.

[–] ScintillatingStruthio@programming.dev 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Neither Javascript nor Typescript require semicolon, it is entirely a stylistic choice except in very rare circumstances that do not come up in normal code.

Explanation for nerds

The reason is the JS compiler removes whitespace and introduces semicolons only "where necessary".

So writing

function myFn() {
  return true;
}

Is not the same as

function myFn() {
  return 
    true;
}

Because the compiler will see that and make it:

function myFn() { return; true; }

You big ol' nerd. Tee-hee.

Common JavaScript L

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's good to know. Don't know how I didn't know this. Been writing JS since 2000. Always just used them I guess. Ecmascripts look funny to me without them

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Same here. My brain interprets them as one long run-on sentence and throws a parsing error.
