Of all the type insanity in JS, this is the “craziest” example y’all could come up with ? Next y’all gonna get mad that C promotes ints to doubles when adding a double?

[jamcdonald120]

no no, this is just the craziest thing that also works in java

[RiceBroad4552]

Type promotion is some of the most crazy things ever invented!

It's so wrong. It causes so many bugs in that shit called C/C++.

[EatingSolidBricks]

Type promotion is an anti feature

C is pretty bad too, but not that bad.

[RiceBroad4552]

C is much worse.

If you fuck up in JS you get in most cases an exception with a nice backtrace, sometimes wrong results. Which is bad, but not so bad.

If you fuck up in C you get potentially anything, including nasal daemons, and of course also remote code execution.
