    Option 3 means that the Javascript standards team dies either way, right? Number 3. No hesitation.

      the c++ team is a sacrifice I’m willing to make. can we just shoot Brendan Eich in the head if he’s not in there too?

        I feel like all C++ does these days is badly and very slowly copy other languages. It wouldn’t be a huge loss.

    Ok so this one just isn’t fair.

    Two possibilities end up with me dead, two end up with millions dead, and one ends up with me being unemployed.

    Sorry not sorry Team A and B, sacrifices must be made.

          Unless you work for the committee or for ISO somehow, then I don’t think that really follows. C++ and JavaScript were both used in production for decades before they had standards, and the dissolution of the standards committee wouldn’t cause compiler vendors to stop developing compilers.

    Well, you can take yourself out of the equation because you’re not tied down and can just move after flipping the switch.

    chooses bottom track

    “C’mon…c’mon!”

    trolley heads towards committe members

    “Dammit!”

    runs over and jumps on the nuclear bomb pressure pad

      Maybe we could use Javascript to direct a simple robot to set the lever while we remain at a safe distance?

      Maybe the real solution to this diagram is to nuke it from orbit.

      You are on track A and the bomb is within sight. If you get the shit end of the 50/50, everyone in the diagram would be vaporized instantly

        So you’re saying there’s a 100% chance the comitees get vaporized by choosing the bottom track.

          Well, no.

          In scenario A they are instantly vaporized. In scenario B they are brutally sliced into multiple pieces and crushed to death, rather painfully depending on the speed of the trolley.

            You need to study up on your trolleys. That’s clearly a Vaporizer Trolleynator 3000.
