I completely agree. I still can't understand why the language that we depend on for increasingly large-scale front-end work still works like this:
[1, 10, 2, 21].sort() // returns: [1, 10, 2, 21]
It's 2016, software engineering is purported to be a profession, and we still have the worst tools imaginable.
- vicx 11y agoYep. And very large software developers have created languages that compile to javascript ... it is madness but it solves their problems.
- nailer 11y agoTry .sort(sorts.numerical) Using npms 'sorts' module
- Sleaker 11y agoI think the only thing you highlighted is why weakly typed languages have issues with readability. Looks like it sorted it fine to me.
