Javascript lets you compare unlike types without extra steps using ==. If you want strict comparison where “2” isn’t 2, use === and !==. Personally, I find that easier than having to parseint or cast every damn thing or whatever c does (strtol?). That said, I have build tools set up to enforce strict comparison because I don’t trust myself or others.
The epitomy of irony is a JavaScript developer insisting that some other language is “a fractal of bad design” without immediately acknowledging that JS is weird as hell.
I’m a C programmer. My first time writing Javascript and ran into some sort of bug involving a === sign or something. Javascript is a silly language.

I like Lua’s design. Separate addition (
x+y) and concatenation (x..y) operators ftw!Edit: and just, like, everything else about Lua too
