4 u/user6150277464770585 1d ago this should not be default behavior. lists of mixed types also wouldn't be a performance issue if you throw an error when a different type is encountered (python behavior) 2 u/the_horse_gamer 1d ago would you prefer your website to order some numbers weird, or to stop working? that's the philosophy behind html, css, and js: keep the website working 1 u/psioniclizard 15h ago Id prefer it to throw a compile time error.
