The Truth About DreamBerd

Last week, we shut down the company, so there's no need to stay in character anymore.

For the first time ever, these release notes will contain no jokes, no sarcasm, and no humour of any kind. Instead, it's time to answer all the questions you ask us most. Questions like...

• Is DreamBerd a joke?
• What is DreamBerd making fun of?
• Will you accept my PR full of offensive jokes?

It's time to answer them all. No more lies! Here's the truth:

The Truth About DreamBerd

Is DreamBerd a joke?

Yes.

What is DreamBerd making fun of?

DreamBerd is making fun of JavaScript.

JavaScript is a terrible language, full of terrible design decisions. Just look at this abomination:

!!!!!!!true

Yeah... You read that right. JavaScript lets you put multiple exclamation marks at the start of a line. Dreamberd mocks this by allowing you to put multiple exclamation marks at the end of the line.

That's the kind of high-level satire you can expect from DreamBerd.

Here's another one:

typeof NaN === "number"

Yeah... You read that right. JavaScript thinks that 'not a number' is a 'number'. You probably didn't know this.

Not everyone will get these jokes. You have to be thinking quite laterally.

Will you accept my PR full of offensive jokes?

No.
