slmjkdbtl / is-is-odd Goto Github PK

To help users to use this repo, we must create a wiki on https://github.com/slmjkdbtl/is-is-odd/wiki

The code currently uses the abstract equality operator ==, meaning that a stringified version of the isOdd function will incorrectly return true.

Example:

const isOdd = require('is-odd');
const isIsOdd = require('is-is-odd');

console.log(isIsOdd(isOdd.toString())); // -> true

We seem to have reached a working version of this project that a lot of customers can enjoy on a daily basis without any major problems or performance issues, that's why I propose to rewrite this project in Rust.

Please let me support my proposal with the following arguments:

• According to this Medium article, JavaScript is a dead language and we should switch to a modern language to ensure the security and further usability of our project.
• While single core performance is barely increasing, modern systems get more and more CPU cores. Rust enables us to parallelize the key features of our library by preventing race conditions and supporting async programming.
• Rust is an unmanaged language, meaning that it has no garbage collector that can at any time interrupt your program. This would allow our project to be used by performance critical and realtime applications.
• Google also sometimes uses Rust.

Let me know your opinions :)

My project directly depends on an older version of is-odd for legacy reasons but even the earliest release of is-is-odd seems to only check against the latest version that matches its own dependency (at time of install?) resulting in a false negative.

Minimal reproducible example:

mkdir is-is-odd-example
cd is-is-odd-example
npm install is-odd@2 is-is-odd
node -e "console.log(require('is-is-odd')(require('is-odd')))"
# outputs false
