Javascript's splice(). The definition of splice doesnt even relate to what the function does

Yeah that always bothered me.... maybe there's more of a CS kinda reason for that name? Or it's just plain dumb.

I have used splice before. Went to insert into an array. Couldn't remember the stupid name. Oh fuck! Its splice...

It's a strange conjugate of split and slice.

@SortOfTested I'll create a framework with a method addition() that returns the ADDress posITION

@shoogknight
That's honestly not even the most offensive thing about js arrays 🤣

@SortOfTested I work with JS in apps that combines JS (front) and C++ (back). The more I work with JS the more I "Push that shit to the backend to do it right!"

@Demolishun
The front end should only be concerned with presentation concerns and user interaction.

The backend should only be concerned with business logic and security.

Separate those concerns.

@SortOfTested I have. The problem is there are some front end tasks that get complicated enough that it is much better to manipulate on the C++ side. So I guess I was not clear. The JS calls functions that are purely front end related in C++. Our data models are separate from this.

@Demolishun
Ah, cool. I've done similar with wasm and rust. I don't generally do disconnected applications anymore, so I don't have a lot of cases where the ideal location for that logic isn't an API. Were I producing that kind of application, I'd eschew JS altogether, it's kind of a shitshow.

@shoogknight

Right up there with my toAllCaps() NPM package!

@Demolishun I actually really like javascript as a language

Don’t use splice

Hahah right!

It's about as weird as that Splice movie.

@shoogknight That was funny, must say

@CaptainRant me the whole time... “but why did Adrian Brody fuck it???”
