@Elizafox ive blocked most of the obvious ones

@Elizafox same

here's a fun fact
with ruby, if you set up a meta-interpreter, you can make a dialect of ruby where you can just push closures onto a stack using keywords so like
instead of doing str = String.new
you can just do

push String
new
store str
pop

@Elizafox bepis

@typhlosion there's no good episodes of black mirror but like i understand what you mean

hi im boots and welcome to "metaprogramming in languages that dont actually have metaprogramming features"

@typhlosion i'd use "throw undefined;" but getting throw to return things is the real issue

@typhlosion the only issue is there's no pop keyword hmmm

i wonder if i could get "throw" to push things onto a global variable stack instead of throwing an error

@candle no :(

ambient information

@typhlosion yeah, basically the browser casts SyntaxError to a string when it gets ~ called on it (bitwise-not) and since the function.prototype assignment ran first due to parenthesis, it runs the alert

the "Object." thing is just chrome weirdness though
iirc you can use it to make a dev tools beartrap which is fun

@typhlosion chrome's sandboxing is really weird

@typhlosion the best part is if you're in chrome try typing "Object." into the dev console

this was actually my 666th post how appropriate https://computerfairi.es/@boots/59294

i just realized i went straight from "weird function calls and misdirection" to "eldritch underlying engine miscellanea" in one step with that last one oops

oops the last post was actually broken just edited it so its fixed
