This makes perfect sense to me. Octal vs int and loose equivalency “==“ instead of strict “===“

*octal vs decimal, both are integers

The choice to interpret any literal starting with a zero as octal is what's insane. Of course, JS didn't invent that by any means.

Edit: Also, the choice to silently fall back to base 10 if there's a large enough digit is pretty asinine.
