I would save this comment and get back to you when the offensive has crumbled, but something tells me you and all the other Reddit libs currently swarming this website will have long crawled back to daddy Reddit by then ;)

E: Uh oh, seems like I’ve angered le epic reddit army! Whatever shall I do?! I know, I’ll just wait a month or two until 80% of the accounts in this thread are long dead :3

Doesn’t change the fact the the suMmEr OfFensIVe is going horribly lol

Real life is not like the movies

Ah yes, the home of free speech!

Yeah, I do agree that it’s a bit weird with TS. It’s fully understandable though, since it just transpiles to JS, which doesn’t have any type information during runtime. I think as far as webdev goes though, TS makes it at least somewhat bearable.

Sorry for the downvote btw - that wasn’t me!

I don’t really get the point of this. Of course the function will accept the value as a string if you specifically tell it to treat it as such (which wouldn’t even be possible without casting it to unknown first)?
