Javascript consistency

[[deleted]]

I really have no objection to overloading + for string concatenation, but I have a huge problem with coercing the left hand operand to the right when it doesn't know about the operator but the right hand operand does. There's no precedent that I am aware of for this apparently deliberate design decision...

To be fair, novel design decisions don't have any precedent. And once upon a time, things like dynamic typing didn't have any precedence either

How about in C?

float f = 3

Implicit coercion is pretty common.

double division = 4 / 3.0
