  Object.prototype.message='alert\x281337\x29';Array.prototype.toString=Error.prototype.toString;Error.prepareStackTrace = Function;const x = new Error;x.valueOf=x.stack;+x;
Well, that's a mouthful! So many years and JavaScript still can do the most amazing, weird, awesome, scary, obscure, and sexy things in the world of coding.
semiquaver•20m ago
JavaScript is so cursed.
aktenlage•16m ago
What's the purpose of the +x at the end?
emaro•12m ago
I think to implicitly trigger the valueOf function.
undecidabot•4m ago
The unary plus implicitly converts an expression to a number, which calls `valueOf` for non-primitive values.
