Spending more time debugging a language than actually writing code

it's the javascript/typescript-way.

I spent 4 hours rewriting how I represent types in rust yesterday

@tosensei debugging in JavaScript was very quick for me actually

finding the bug is "hard", but fixing it is trivial

finding the bug is like 2 minutes max if you've used the language any degree of time though
I mean, I guess before they added promises which don't have stack traces
or maybe some retard just wrote async code incorrect and then you have to rewrite the whole thing correctly

I ran into a node optimization flaw that screwed up my code.

`(a || b).foo()` caused the runtime to replace all references of `a` earlier in the function with a shallow copy missing its inheritance. Using `a ??= b` and `a.foo()` instead avoided this. Very odd, and took awhile to troubleshoot.

@Root I have never ran into something so odd 👀

@jestdotty Not my first run-in with compilers, unfortunately. Most were with MSVC++
