So, it looks like XP users will finally have another browser supporting JavaScript's new ?? operator. Now if only we could get developers to give it a plain-English (or plain-any-language, for that matter) name.
Just to clarify, I was being curmudgeonly about "nullish," which isn't a, you know, word, at least not in the English language. It only exists in the context of Javascript programming. Don't believe me? Do a Google search!
According to MDN,
So in defining their non-word, they used another non-word: "falsy!"
I'm sorryish, but this is just stupidy.
Edit: to be fair, the terms "truthy" and "falsy" (the latter not to be confused with the actual word falsie) have been around for at least a decade. They seem to be used not only with JavaScript, but also other dynamically-typed languages like Python and, AIUI, Ruby. These languages have the Boolean values true and false but also values (such as numeric values) that evaluate to true or false when used in a Boolean context. (And "truthy" may have been a back-formation paying homage to Stephen Colbert, who coined the neologism "truthiness.") "Nullish," however, still just sounds silly....
