This is why I appreciate languages with a strict and non-strict mode. Let me make that choice. In particular, if the parser is intelligent enough to understand what I meant and is just throwing a syntax error to be pedantic, then let me control that. Needlessly taking choices away will always be a frustration.
- justin_oaks 4y agoThe downsides of having both strict and non-strict mode: - It is a maintenance burden on the compiler/interpreter writers to allow both modes - There may be unexpected behavior when you use code from two different sources; one that expects strict mode and the other expects non-strict mode - There may be interpersonal conflict when developers working together prefer one mode over another
