I was waiting for people to say something first. I was sure I was missing something. But for the love of God, that's horrible! Not only what ermir said, but what about collision in 32 bits? It's only 4 billion entries. I keep thinking I should do something in Node to learn, then I read stuff like this. Is this Javascript, the Good part, or the other part? I can't tell.
- draw_down 8y agoEverything isn’t a referendum on JavaScript. Jeez.
- bastawhiz 8y agoAdditionally, if any of your class's members include the separator character, you can end up with possible collisions.
- jakear 8y agoAnd it treats null as undefined as the empty string.
- graphememes 8y agoJavascript has a lack of maturity compared to others, most certainly.
- tracker1 8y agoDon't blame one person's poor implementation of a feature for an entire language.
- jacobush 8y agoI don't. My litmus test is that I couldn't tell if that implementation was poor or not, given Javascript as a context.
- tracker1 8y agoSo, if it were your preferred language, and someone implemented the feature in the same way, you still couldn't tell? It's not like what was done was part of the language.
