I don't see the point of a programming language allowing itself braining fucking its users(developer) for serious use
And Perl codebase is huge. Perl is used quite heavily at Amazon, Booking.com and Yahoo, among others.
Say what you want about Perl, but it is fun and hacker-friendly. I enjoyed it for many years.
Does anyone know a good sandboxing technology to execute user written javascript in a safe way? (like, on other user machines or on the server)? I have some ideas like "learn programming" that would benefit from this immensely.
https://developers.google.com/caja/ Used it a few years ago. It was a little finnicky to get working right but I was impressed at the time. No idea where the project is at nowadays.
I remember similar strange and interesting stuff in Perl, like the spaceship operator.

What about Node.js's `vm` module?
edit: i guess there is this: https://github.com/substack/vm-browserify

None is preventing you from writing let f = (a,b,c) => {a * b ^ c}; in JS
when you include curly braces in arrow functions you lose the implicit return, so this function would return undefined
f = (a,b,c) => (a * b ^ c)
It's too bad that people were willing to ostracize Brendan Eich for not being a cookie-cutter silly-valley progressive. Oculus is facing that now. It's the new mccarthyism.
For what it's worth, Brendan Eich is a joke for technical reasons as well, like creating JavaScript.

If we can't do that, then we ostracize people who aren't a cookie-cutter $political_view.

ES6 lets you define functions like a => a * 2 Or (a, b, c) => a * b ^ c
That's succinct, but less clear than the Ruby version, imo, as you don't have any scope indicators required for the function body. JS: let f = (a,b,c) => a * b ^ c; f(2,3,4); vs. Ruby: f = ->(a,b,c) { a * b ^ c } f.(2,3,4) Ruby's shorter and clearer. But, when you use the Ruby lambda more than once in the code, you lose the brevity advantage, because of the "extra" dot. But, in Ruby I use methods more than lambdas, w…
