Has there been any discussion of floor division similar to Python? I searched but had trouble finding anything related.
I would love to be able to 3 // 2
instead of Math.floor(3/2)

That specific syntax would be a 3 with a commented 2.
As to the overarching concept, what would it do with -4 divided by 3?
Good point, wasn't thinking about comments here.
As far as the overarching concept, I just imagined it being syntactic sugar for Math.floor
so Math.floor(-4/3) === -2
.
Do want to point out that bigints have this behavior automatically.
