| 00:43 | <shu> | do we have any prior art of built-in functions doing something different when all parameters are undefined? like, not just default values for certain undefined parameters, but a special overload for the nullary case |
| 00:43 | <shu> | context is https://github.com/tc39/proposal-resizablearraybuffer/issues/113 |
| 00:44 | <shu> | i think some intl methods do funky things |
| 05:38 | <jmdyck> | You mean like Date()? |
| 08:49 | <rkirsling> | ^ this was what immediately came to mind for me too |
| 08:50 | <rkirsling> | https://twitter.com/leobalter/status/1099032006091046918 |
| 15:50 | <ptomato> | not counting the case of a required parameter being omitted, I guess? |
| 17:12 | <littledan> | If someone wants to pick up standardizing all the edge cases of the Date constructor, I think that'd be a very important project. |
| 17:20 | <jmdyck> | Which edge cases haven't been standardized? |
| 17:20 | <littledan> | all the non-ISO8601 ones! |
| 17:20 | <littledan> | this is a major point of compatibility issues between JS implementations |
| 17:21 | <jmdyck> | Ah, so Date.parse really. |
| 17:21 | <littledan> | it will be challenging to find the right set of things to interpret in practice to be compatible enough, but browsers have expressed appetite to upgrade to something if it's web-compatible in practice |
| 18:38 | <ptomato> | hi! in test262 we have an RFC open (our first, as a trial of a new RFC process) about adding some facilities to test262 for improving the experience of writing asynchronous tests. we'd love to have some feedback from the perspective of implementers maintaining a test262 runner, and from (potential) test writers. |
| 22:21 | <linusg> | Does anyone know if https://fosstodon.org/@TC39 is a legitimate account (as in run by Ecma or a delegate)? |
| 22:22 | <linusg> | (I'd assume it's the same people as https://twitter.com/TC39 but I don't know about that one either :)) |
| 22:23 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | It's legitimate, it's run by our chairs! |
| 22:23 | <linusg> | great, thanks! |
| 22:37 | <ryzokuken (back friday)> | I'd been meaning to add verified links to the TC39.es website or something but couldn't find the time yet |
| 22:38 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | It would be cool if there was already a PR open in the website repo waiting for review! |
| 22:39 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | It would have also been cool if the author of that PR realized that prettier was failing |
| 23:33 | <ljharb> | re Date.parse, that was already attempted, and was blocked (by the chrome team as i recall) |
