M instead of K wasted my whole day. So much furious 😡

Which language is this?

@coolq javascript I believe. The function is a generator.

@Hedgepig
Aww, I thought I was getting the hang of JavaScript.

What threw me off is the star symbol. Does that denote a generator?

@coolq Yep, it does.

@saintograph
Okay, I see!

@coolq pff don't feel bad, I only vaguely know the theory and don't use them directly. I really should since I use async and await which uses generators under the hood.

Blast another dev sin for wk81

@Hedgepig
Yeah, same.

@coolq here you go, my favourite programming youtuber: https://youtu.be/ategZqxHkz4

@Hedgepig
Whoa he's good! Thanks!

Statically compiled languages laugh at you.

Bad IDE?

Redux saga 😀

Mistakes like this make me want to write a syntax highlighter that sets color based on composition in addition to (or even instead of) placement.

@stevemk14ebr in fairness a good linter should have picked this up

I don't use any linter and other plugins on my ide. I don't like them but after this I should use those 😂😂

The struggle is real

@stevemk14ebr Yeah compiled languages laugh at you... with cryptic errors like the one I was staring at today: "x is untouchable inside the constraints y bound at a pattern with constructor z, in a case alternative" — instead of just "You forgot to add a type signature there you lazy twat".

So is it fork over form now? Hehe

@Root There is a semantic highlighter for Sublime that is good for this kind of thing.

@bittersweet I'd prefer any error that eliminates an entire class of bug to a runtime error.
