People that try to do mathematical operations with strings blaming the programming language that had a stated design goal to do its best and try to keep running scripts that make no sense because they realized it would be used by people that have no idea what they are doing. Clearly they were right.

And so let's enable these people?
Let's add AI to the mix while we're at it.

Now that you mention it, it is a bit funny how Lemmy is hating LLMs as a code generation tool while also hating on the interpreter for their own hand typed code not running.

I mean, in both cases it's because the LLM and interpreter do things you wouldn't expect.

Then you do not do Javascript, because it is an interpreted language.

Edit: or Python, or a command line shell, or any CORS, or databases, or... Well idk really what you do use honestly.
