Union, intersection, difference, and more are coming to JavaScript Sets
The JavaScript Set was introduced to the language in the ES2015 spec, but it has always seemed incomplete. That's about to change with the addition of functions like intersection, union and difference.
They didn’t have that?!
The more you learn about JavaScript, the less you understand how the modern web actually functions.
Set functionality was there leveraging object properties this just makes things more concise
Union organizing and intersectionality can only improve things.
This seems like a nice feature. Python has sets like this too, and it's super useful.
Ah yes, javascript, the database language.
Jesus fucking christ I am so glad I don't work in the corporate tech sector anymore.
Sets aren't just for databases
If you need to be able to do unions and you are doing it in javascript, you are being absurdly inefficient compared to setting up a postgres db, but i wont be able to convince you of this because of basically nonsense brainwashing from your corporate conditioning.
EDIT: Note to self, do not use lemmy while hangry.
Yep Im wayyyy off base here.
