I broke JavaScript (JSF**k) 

Talk a little bit slower for non native english speakers to catch up with you

@@katech6020 Good point, I'll stop cutting out spaces between words while editing lol

I feel like the title and thumbnail could be a little bit better. Maybe try A/B testing in TheStemG's server?

The thumbnail: Try to find some consistent "style", you kind of had some sameish ones before but now broke that with the yellow colored letters. The ones beforehand hat purple coloring which is also sort of included in your channel logo.

@@zyansheep Good idea, I'll do that!

Learn this amazing JavaScript tool today! Your coworkers will hate it!

I see things like this and want to write a transpiler to transpile regular code into this.

@@joshhoover1202 yeah that's for the best, no way in hell anyone would write that mess of six symbols directly

there are online converters for this!

While making the video, I actually wrote a fair amount of it directly myself (not all the way to single quote but still). Otherwise, transpilers are really fun to make, and even though jsfuck.com exists, making your own is a cool project that I would absolutely recommend!

That would be pretty cool :) I'll try my best to keep improving over time!

@@AByteofCode Write him and tell him to review JSFuck 👀

​@@JorgetePanete Yeah but then I'll be accused of copying his video idea on top of style lmao. You can write him though, it would be funny seeing what he thinks of it!

Name checks out :)

💀 I do not accept responsibility for that lol

:) Thanks for the kind words!

JSFuck takes it to another dimension, because you could run the same obfuscation steps on JSFuck as you would normal code (Probably I would assume I don't actually know).

JavaScript more like JavaSh*t. Although to be fair, for a language made in one week its not that bad.

I'd say explicit coercion is a bit prettier lol. Otherwise thank you for the kind words!

Javascript is totally evil, there's no doubt.

If I were to guess JS had in mind (amongst others) DOM manipulation and reducing explicit calls to String or to toString when you needed to add a non-string to the document. Similar type coercion is in php which is also used for document manipulation.

not beauty + L + JS type coercoin is peak comedy

The amount of effort the JSF*ck community went into finding all of these tricks is really impressive. Currently some pythonistas are trying to do the same thing for python but have only managed to cut down to the following 13 characters so far: *[(+travels')]*

@@AByteofCode where I can find JSF community?

@@katech6020 r/jsfuck is a good start i'd say

@@AByteofCode Thanks

@Sadik.H Less of a community more one person who made a github post about it a couple of years ago but look up "pyfuck" you should find it

That would work in the browser but sadly it isn't supported by node.js, meaning it can't be used in a globally supported transpiler. A great idea though!

@@AByteofCode works fine in deno! 😉

@@clo4 Ok I know there's at least one non global thing but i don't know what it is lmao

@@AByteofCode Basically, deno is a replacement for node made by the author of node

​@@ArthurKhazbs Something about him regretting how he made node, so he flipped the name and tried again?

o.o

I believe they also say JavaScript in, garbage out. :)

@@AByteofCode no, that's Java

@@thestemgamer3346 Counter Offer: /Java(Script)? in, garbage out/g

Thank you my man :) I'm happy to hear that!

Do you write your comments like lines in play (SS)? Or does SS mean something else?

@@spaghettiking653 Lmao exactly what I thought when I read that comment!

What happended?happened??

​@@TheonlyNonlethalninja I had like ten exports of it in a folder and uploaded the one with the highest number when the correct version was the one with the second highest number :/

Just went and checked, crap I thought I was being slightly original there for once xD I'll change it for next time lol

Glad to hear that! I can't guarantee all of my content to be JS though, for each video I pick what I think to be the best tool for that explanation.

@@AByteofCode all good I understand. But man it's hard to find good JS DRY architecture content. Would love if you could do some of those.

@@FS-yq9ef I'll look into that but JS isn't my main language so I don't know much about architecture specific to it.

Hehe, your original comment was "At first I forgot who you are (sorry) and say to me « oh no, an another boring video talking about JS weirdness that we all know. » BUT NO THAT VIDEO WAS JUST AMAZING ! I didn’t expect you can create from a whole existing language a new kind of language that is totally working. This maybe just found like fun this think but maybe it’s a good way to obfuscate really your code. Anyway nice video and hype for the next one ^^" to which I answered "You might know me from the video I made on monads. Also yeah JSF*ck is a really interesting subject and its amazing how it works with so few characters! Glad you enjoyed :)"

Check the video description! There is one: jsfuck.com :)

@@AByteofCode Woah, that's beaut I can get right down to writing all my code in jsfuck now hehehehe >:3

Meanwhile you got APL and perl devs using their code as bank passwords

Damn right we do lol

Glad to hear that!

I believe jQuery has a lot of its code as JSF*ck, since it is a very effective obfuscation mechanism. Considering that 'console.log("Hello World")' comes out to 8471 characters, its not a good idea to encode everything to jsf*ck because of performance and network reasons. Google devs do obfuscate their code heavily by removing whitespace and meaningful names, although that does also help with bundle sizes and performance.

xD I should have taken that metaphor instead of an iceberg, this is an amazing comment.

I'm glad to hear you think that! I did upload it yesterday so we'll see what the algorithm does with it :p

You're welcome lol!

JavaScript: broken keyboard edition :) This actually does have a couple of uses. jQuery I believe obfuscates some of their code like this, and in code golfing, "[][0]" is shorter than "undefined", with "x+[]" being shorter than "x.toString()".

Oh forgot to mention that part, you can do *(+("11e100")+[])[1]* to get a period.

@@AByteofCode something["somethingElse"] = something.somethingElse

@@official-obama yeah that is equivalent, its the trick used with ["flat"] and ["constructor"], just when building a string for Function(), you're better off using the period syntax than brackets since it reduces the bundle size a bit (for some reason thats a concern lol)

You would get some inception level JS which would also be about as performant as scratch running an interpreted programming language :p

After watching this I am scared

I mean yeah vanilla JavaScript is fairly esoteric, but we take it to the next level woooo

In what way? I've never played that game

@@AByteofCode the gameplay loop is about combining elements. You start with fire, water, earth, etc. Combine earth and water to get mud. Then you can combine mud with fire and so on and so on. The challenge is trying to figure out what to combine with what until you make everything in existence. This is that but you’re using a handful of operations and combining to build out js

@@thomase5374 Oh I see. Some other commenter compared this to a complex minecraft mod crafting system, so same general concept. There should be a game where you collect JSFck symbols and use them to build stuff lol

Malbolge would like to speak to your manager :P

Why does malbolge excist!? A malbolge code looks like the swearing of it's developers when they were writing it

​@@SP4CEBAR Honestly that might be the case, we will never know. I'm hesitating making a video explaining how to program in malbolge, that could be funny :)

@@AByteofCode malbolge seems like machine code but for alien computers can a human even write malbolge? or is this skill only mastered by extraterrestrial beings

@@SP4CEBAR Believe it or not, it can actually be written manually! It's a massive pain but possible.

How so?

@@AByteofCode ran out of memory

@@vimaximus1360 While watching this video?

@@AByteofCode yep, my brain 🤣

@@vimaximus1360 Oh lmao I see

o.o jsfuck.com

Glad to hear that! I changed that part last minute before uploading so I'm happy to see it was a good choice :)

Trololol :)

Its great for esotericism but less so for actual usage lol

me too, idiomatic js is the best

Absolutely! You could even try making a JSF**k compiler yourself. Some exist already but its still a cool project!

Us programmers have too much free time lol

Thank you for the optimism!

jsfuck.com :) Not sure about the "painfully" part of the slow, but jsf*ck is definitively slower than normal JS

The best part is that JSF**k is actually used for that!

This video was pretty much an animated version of a stack overflow post. Check the description of the video, there's a link to it. That should provide more in depth explanations of most of what I said.

I think the breakneck pace helps sell the absurdity of what is being done.

Lol i don't even know what I'd upload there if it existed, but if I ever make a second channel that is what its being called

:) This comment is music to my ears! Glad I made you laugh!

Ayyyy a fellow skyblock player how do you do?

Job protection 101 :) Although actually you could probably make a jsf*ck decompiler that reconverts it into something readable, since most people don't write jsf directly but compile to it.

Thank you! Pushed to prod without testing the first time lol :/

Isn't the V8 engine used in NodeJS?

Uhhh crap lol. I guess I meant the italics trick worked on browser but not on node. My bad!

An issue there is that to access fromCharCode, you need the capital letter C, which can only be obtained everywhere reliably by using the return '\uXXXX' trick. You would need to run that twice just to call fromCharCode once. On the browser, you have functions like atob and .italics which can get you a capital C at which point arbitrary characters would be obtainable that way.

Sounds like a good idea to me :)

It sure is! Programmers have a lot of free time but they make art in the form of headache material such as JSF*ck or esolangs!

When you have "ba" + + "a" + "a" it gets grouped like this "ba" + (+"a") + "a", and a unary plus on something that can't be number casted gets you NaN which is then stringified to be added to the other letters. I do admit I took off the capitals so my bad on that front :/

🔨 bonk

The scrolling red at the end was actually console.log("Hello World") in jsf**k lol. Its 8000 characters long which made it hard to put a full snippet in :)

It's like using lambda calculus. You CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. Then again, this applies to esolangs in general, so its more an art form than anything

One exists already but it is a very fun project so go for it and good luck! Share it with us when you're done lol

Absolutely! I've done youtube for two years on old channels and applied what I learnt to this one, which is how this channel skipped the "make 100 bad videos" phase, but I still went through that. What I learnt can be boiled down into one sentence: Make content people want to watch. This one sentence regroups multiple facets: - Getting the video suggested to people - Getting the click - Getting the sub For the video to be suggested to people, the main thing you can do is simply to have a good idea. This channel is successful in that regard because my videos all provide something I know cannot be found elsewhere on the platform. My research phase is essentially making sure the keyword has a lot of search potential and that there is no good video on youtube which covers it. The main source of growth for this channel is my video about monads, which is infamous for being impossible to explain, and that video took me about 12 hours of research just to know what a monad was in the first place. For my APL video, I had to learn the language with no good online ressources, and the video now provides a starting ressource. The click is where the title, thumbnail and idea come into play. On my channel I've employed a technique of showing off a word someone has probably heard of before but without knowing any details of, with the thumbnail supporting the title in creating a promise or piquing curiosity. For my monad video, even if you've never heard of a monad, seeing the >>= symbol still creates curiosity and drives the click. I always make the title and thumbnail BEFORE writing the script of a video to make sure that it has a chance in the youtube ecosystem. Finally, driving the sub home. RU-vid wants one thing: maximum viewer satisfaction, and will promote videos which provide that. Although viewer retention is a good metric, you could watch a whole video but not be satisfied. This is where sub conversion comes into play. If youtube sees a lot of new viewers are subscribing, it'll promote the video a lot more. I see a lot of comments saying that people "instantly subscribed" after one video and that was a rare thing for them to do. This channel currently has a 5% subscriber conversion rate, which is really high. For reference my old minecraft channel had about 0.5% conversion. I also get engagement rates about 10% which is also quite high, even without begging for like/sub/comments. To tie it all together, make videos that people want to watch and youtube will find people to watch them.

@@AByteofCode thank you so much for this response I have never really done keyword research before and really scripted a video yet so I am 100 percent going to try that! In addition to doing more teaser on things like what people are searching for. Thank you again for the advice!

@@milehighgamerguy6977 Absolutely no problem! I'm glad I helped :)

Glad to hear that :)

While editing, I never realize the pace until the video is done. I do agree this one is wayyyyy too fast and I'll work on my editing to make it slower. Thanks for the feedback, and in the meantime at least 0.75x is a thing so that's helpful.

i think most languages have that, if one doesn't that would be more of an exception than a rule

Only in C++, not C. C does not have operator overloading, so + is always used for addition.

​@@hentaihero2201 Oh ok, good to know! Thanks for providing a counter example :)

You could encode the js to jsfuck compiler (written in js) into jsfuck and use that to compile jsfuck. Also, since there is a javascript interpreter written in javascript, that could be converted to jsfuck and used to run javascript :)

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

RU-vid auto suggested this reply: "Great to hear!" That AI needs a bit of help lol

That's a good way to put it lol

Oops, I may have cut it out. You get it like this *(+("11e100")+[])[1]*, numerizing 11e100 gives you 1.1e+101 which stringified gives you the period.

printing Hello World in jsf*ck requires about 9000 characters so I apologize for the lack of examples lol

o.o I don't know what that means but it scares me

That'd explain the performance :)

Damn that's really nice to hear! Thank you :)

Hehehehehe

Would you mind explaining what happened/why its offensive?

Oh nothing actually happened. JS is an abbreviation for 女子小学生 which means "elementary school girl". I'm sure you can connect the dots.

@@KatzRool OOOOOOOOOF

I tried out most of the tricks while making the video, and you can transpile any program to jsfuck at jsfuck.com

Thanks for the kind words!

I try making speedy content but I do admit I made this video waay too fast, I'll try to do better!

Thank you :)

A chunk of jQuery actually is lmao

Ooh yeah I'll change it to http, thanks for pointing it out! For information if anyone comes across this, encoding 'console.log("Hello World")' takes up 8471 characters of JSF*ck lmao

@@AByteofCode tbf the guy that originally wrote JavaScript had to essentially write it the way he did due to him being on a tight schedule and not having enough time to write a proper language. So...he wrote something he could expand at a later date

@@hanro50 That is a good point! I often poke fun at javascript but you gotta give credit where its due, for something made in a week its very impressive!
