Warnings? We’ll come back and address those later. Maybe once we’re feature complete. Or maybe shortly after that.

Starting with Java 21 (I think), they've introduced ignored variables, so you can now actually do this:

try {
    operation();
} catch (Exception _) {
    // nice weather, eh?
}

Edit: forgot that this is about JS lel

Same thing right?

If your joking yes, if your not Java and Java Script are seperate things.

If I can't see it, is it really there?

If it works, it works

Sometimes it’s better to hope while closing eyes

This is why:

"It ain't stupid if it works."

is fundamentally incorrect.

I would add: until it doesn't.
