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

So basically the same as a discard in C#?

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, Python has it as well. I think the only real use of it is code readability since you declare that this variable will never be used.

[-] __ghost__@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Same thing right?

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

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

His joking?

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Actually made this mistake in front of 20 people the other day. Guy at my job mentioned coding in java and I asked if he was doing web dev 🤦

[-] BangersAndMash@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Plenty of java back end web development, so maybe not as embarrassing as you felt?

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He said "I've been closing in C# and Java for 2 years" and I asked, in front of everyone, "are you doing web dev?" And he just coldly said no

See this could have been fine if I didn't double down and go "then what are you using java for... OH WAIT"
