Strange bug in my query. I was trying to say js, for a good while, did little more than manipulate html. After some uhhh inbreeding(?) it evolved to do wild crazy things like serverside stuff (read: insane) where it puts the entire document together. (hallelujah!) But before that it was just text?
We got arrow functions use strict template strings and even asm.js, countless truly insane things were added to the eco system like unicode symbols and css animations (madness!) all of a quality as~if a late Sunday night project - per www tradition.
Im simply suggesting the next weird thing should be fuzzy text matching. Even if the implementation is complete garbage, like a permanently frozen turd, say, string compare returning a value between 0 and 1 I could see myself use it often enough. If needed one can always wrap some enormous enterprise natural language processing api to keylog the user and beam their delicious data back to the mothership for advertisement and creditscores etc
I know we cant have nice things but I can dream and it doesn't have to be nice?
Tell me you know nothing about JavaScript's history, without telling me you know nothing about JavaScript's history.
