Although I'm not a JavaScript developer, I'm currently delving into the process of converting Java code to JS using the GWT compiler in order to identify the root cause of memory growth in our extensive application.
Every now and then, I come across variables assigned to "_" like this:
_ = com_google_gwt_event_shared_GwtEvent.prototype = new java_lang_Object;
These types of assignments are scattered throughout the code. What exactly do they signify?
