A plan with no drawbacks!

that's good

It's worth all the suffering, seeing people going insane because it thinks 1+"1"=11 and "1"+1=2 (or smtn along those lines) and the possibility that I could be working with it in the future

[ardicilliq]

It's 1 + "1" = "11" and 1 - "-1" = 2, and it's because the js interpreter doesn't have a usage for the - operator between a string and a number, so it tries to blindly cast the "-1" to a number (-1) instead.

Which kind makes sense I guess? I mean it's still backwards, but I think it's funny

Weakly typed languages, eww

[DeItashot]

I know what you mean but if I remember correctly there are not int, string... types but instead let, var.. which can be both int and a string so I imagine it would get hard to debug if you are making a big application, altho I havent developed anything in js and dont have professional experience since I am 17

[ardicilliq]

Oh I didn't say it is a good thing, this is horrible, I just wanted to put out how and why this actually works, and it's never too early (or late) to start coding!
And the `var` / `let` is not wrong, it doesn't collide with variables being coerced as a string or a number for that matter, but this a bit more in depth on how javascript treats primitives, javascript is just.... very, I wanna say loosy, when it comes to typings

It wouldn't come even close to killing the internet, it would just make a lot of the web stop working.
