Javascript doesn’t “just work”. It’s a language originally designed to glue actions to html elements and it is fundamentally broken in ways that will be never be fixed. Weird syntax, weird type coercion, horrible base types & functions, surprises galore. Even Typescript, which is basically a precompiler, is just JS with some type checking. The only reason anyone uses either is because it is ubiquitous - people have to use it.

Javascript is a beautiful language where ‘3’ - 1 = 2 but ‘3’ + 1 = ‘31’.

Even if you, the programmer, are a complete fucking moron, by god javascript will try to make your program run as long as possible.

I mean it might not work as intended but it’ll run and not complain!
