Pretty sure that math.random is decades old.

Pretty sure OP’s image is hyperbole.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Right. I'd agree this is a thing that happens, I just thought you were addressing this one in particular

[-] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 days ago

Pretty sure many codebases running today (even JS ones) are older

Remember IE? Yeah. Probably responsible for a lot of now-superfluous things like this theory suggests.

Gotta admit, didn't think it was that old

[-] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

How many JS codebases are over 30 years old? Can you name even one?

And? I don't know how to check but I'd guess math.random was included from the beginning.
