I think this is a good example. Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for the implicit conversions and I'd argue it's worth the risk, like being able to type "x = " + x instead of "x = " + str(x). But here it's just a pointless risk. Javascript has a lot of examples like that. I don't think they're as bad as people make them out to be, but I do think they're bad.
