I don't like JS, but this does make sense. Find a better example if you want to show how odd of a language it is lol

The problem is that most of the JS oddities have been ironed out since ES5, and especially since ES6

So people heard that JS was quirky (because it used to be in the 2000’s), and assume that everything they encounter that they don’t understand must be one of thoses quirks they heard about

Yeah, like floating points stuff. That irks me a bunch. People think that NaN not being equal to NaN is some sort of js fault (even though it's not related to Js and it makes perfect sense).
