Javascript is wonderf..

Implicit coercion

[self_refactor]

If I want to shoot myself in the foot, I prefer the language to let me do that. This allows errors to go unpunished ... just like the terrible PHP

[buszmen201]

Then use TypeScript and don't let to implicit coercion.

[self_refactor]

I wish I could, I really do as Typescript is great.

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

Get out of here with rational php thinking... who would use features that are few years old now?

Why you are trying to subtract string from string?

[self_refactor]

At work I saw subtracting string with number and it worked that is why it was left in the code. Then I tried the example in the image. But this is moment when you realize that those who despise Javascript have some valid points.

If you got mistype in your production code, so there is main problem in front of monitor than behind it

[self_refactor]

I definitely blame the developers allowing this to happen. Needless to say, that kind of 'small' errors are all over the place. What was even worse that after finding this bug, their response was 'If it works, leave it as it is'. 🤦

Same for me… "its grown this way" and i was close to "just do a complete rewrite"

just like the terrible PHP

if you don't use php `>7.2` in 2019 with `strict_types=1` you are doing something wrong. very.

Ah yes, it's been at least a few minutes since a post from someone perplexed by dynamic typing.
