I hadn’t, thank you

I’m using the default lemmy.world web ui if that helps

Lack of a default comment language is a big miss imo. I don’t want to have to select the same language I use for every comment every time I post one. Even if you did use multiple languages it would still be useful.

Me omw to shift the entire codebase to the right by one tab and claim authorship over every line in the project with a completely untraceable commit

Not from ES6

eval is a path to powers many would consider to be… unnatural

I once created a system to automatically load and execute arbitrary JS files and any exported functions in them as part of a server

for(var i=0; i \< numLoops; i++){
    globalThis['example'+i] = doStuff(i);
}

All ECMAScript is standardized because that refers to the standard.

I think you’re discounting the different environments that JS runs in. Something like C runs in a much more uniform environment (the OS) while JS must be able to run in different runtimes. It’s like how windows has APIs that C can access, but obviously you can’t access them when running C from other OSes (forgive me if that’s inaccurate, I don’t use C often).

In the browser you cannot access stdout, but you can use console.log to write to the dev console which is basically the same thing.

In Node, you can use process.stdout.

Both are available from the top-level globalThis objects that are part of each platform’s respective default library.
