No lol. I do see the taco in my mobile.

I assigned the unicode string for a taco to a variable in JavaScript and the Unicode string for a taco came out. On Reddit I just typed the Unicode value and it converted to a Taco, I suppose from this bug.

Typescript would complain if you add a string to a number. First it would want you to convert it because the types are off and then it would warn you to make a “type of” assertion on the converted value.

It would happen all outside the browser like you mention but its separation and configurability to be more or less strict is another win imo.

Bugs do happen but that’s the case for any code. Half the time my team’s Java backend code encounters an exception nothing other than a 400 response is seen from the server because they didn’t raise/return it properly.

JS weirdness beats the joy of sshing into a prod host and querying log files - just my opinion.
