> http://tc39.github.io/proposal-string-pad-start-end/ http://tc39.github.io/proposal-string-pad-start-end/ Not to beat a dead horse, but I find it hilarious that this is a proposal. Someone on TC39 has a sense of humor. Edit: Apparently this was proposed long before left-pad broke the internet.

Not to be a wet blanket, but this proposal predates padLeftGate by a lot: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-string-pad-start-end/commit/5e370dc4731aa12c88def15a0b2acc78952c9677 https://github.com/tc39/proposal-string-pad-start-end/commit... http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?do=revisions&id=strawman%3Astring_padding http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?do=revisions&id=strawman...

  Good catch, I stand corrected.

    Still, I wouldn't say nobody cracked a smile at the last TC39 meeting... ;P

>* Someone on TC39 has a sense of humor!* Well, just look at his profile picture: https://github.com/ljharb https://github.com/ljharb Strong Seth Rogen vibes... [Hey, I meant it as a complement!]

Reminds me of how leftPad and rightPad were added to D a day or two after the npm story exploded and I thought it was poking fun at the situation but the pull request was actually created many months prior and the person who merged it was unaware of the npm drama. Just a humorous coincidence.
