Code written below your line gets executed if you don't return early. More breaking news at 8.

Seriously, why would you think that assigning a value would stop your script from executing? Maybe the Typescript example is missing some context, but it seems like such a weird case to present as a "data race".

This assignment has a significant side-effect of leaving the page, assuming this is immediate rather than a scheduled asynchronous action is not unfair (I’m pretty sure I assumed the same when I saw or did that).
