    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 like Lua’s design. Separate addition (x+y) and concatenation (x…y) operators ftw!

        I will have to look into it soon. It has a JIT. I like that.

  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. That said, I have build tools set up to enforce strict comparison because I don’t trust myself or others.

  Truish and falsish and nullish are all concepts made up by madmen. JavaScript is the language of the damned.
