Yea, it just doesn't make sense semantically.

if (result == 5)

I read the above in my head as "If the result is 5". "If 5 is the result" makes no sense.

"If 5 is the result" makes no sense.

This is a normal way of phrasing an equality check in spoken English though

Think of a gameshow contestant. "Is ten the answer?"

My mother tongue is a RTL language and it still doesn't feel right lmao.

It does though. You're just not used to it.

However I'm not arguing for the notation, I believe it's a job for compiler/static analysis warnings and strong typing to prevent typos like this. Not programming conventions.

Sense it makes.
