Orthogonal perhaps, but interesting that some of the key updates to JavaScript appear heavily influenced by (or blatantly copied from) Elixir:

TL;DR, what Liam said
⚠️ Hey folks the misinformation here is real!
The proposal for records was withdrawn on 14th April.
Other misinformation is also present, the less you read from this article the better.
So it seems that not all that is shiny is gold.
EDIT: w3schools has an overview that makes no mention of the pattern matching nor pipes.

Thanks for clarifying. On the plus side, I never had any intention of using JavaScript anyway. But it would’ve been nice to nudge those that do towards the One True Path

If you look closely, there is a mini-stonehenge in the middle (only the shadow knows) - was Stonehenge just a roundabout? At this stage, I’d believe anything.

It’s from The Merchant of Venice, where Morocco opens the gold casket. The scroll inside reads
“All that glisters is not gold—
Often have you heard that told.
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold.
Gilded tombs do worms infold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been enscrolled.
Fare you well, your suit is cold.”
Aluminium foil is shiny but doesn’t glister. A well cut diamond glisters but isn’t shiny.
