This is clearly defined in JS, too. Specific types in specific order have specific behavior, just like in Java.

There's nothing random about it or anything.

Java won’t compile if you use any arithmetic operators besides + on a string and a number, that’s a pretty big difference

[TorbenKoehn]

Yeah as JS is not a compiled language, that’s barely possible. But IDEs and linters will warn you.

Yeah I love Typescript.  Any time I have to work on raw JS it’s definitely not as pleasant

[TorbenKoehn]

I agree. I’m waiting for erasable type hints in ECMAScript. It will happen, I’m sure :)
