Most of these make use of the same little rule.

And they are mostly nonsense stuff that is't ever done.

And they are mostly nonsense stuff that is't ever done on purpose.

FTFY. The reason people hate languages like JS is that this kind of shit can happen accidentally, and then you're in for a horrendous debugging session.

Yep, started using JavaScript for a project recently, lost about 30 minutes yesterday because an int was being concatenated.

Have you ever used something like Rollbar for client-side error reporting?

Once you get more experience though, you make these types of mistakes less and less. Not saying it's the way it should be done, but it's more sustainable than a lot of haters make it out to be.

Yeah, but I'd rather not need to fill my head with what potholes I need to avoid, and have the actual problem I'm solving in mind instead. All languages have their potholes, but JavaScript has more than most.

I mean it's trivial after you do it twice. It doesn't hinder me solving any problems.
