  • Auto-type coercion (on operation), instead of throwing errors is a big quirk to me.
  • Another quirk I meet sometimes (and leads to error) is [] + [], which does not throw an error in TypeScript. Also, TypeScript is not strongly typed. It is only IDE-typed, and IDE can be denied.
  • 0.1 + 0.2 is very normal -- 0.30000000000000004.com/.

I didn't say JS is perfect. It's my favorite programming language. Because it has many pros compared to other langauges and it suits me better than any other programming language.

And having a thousands of transpilers is another advantages of JavaScript in my POV.

So don't play the Devil's advocate because I am the judge here.

I don't think, JavaScript is a dangerous minefield.
I love JavaScript a lot. More than any other programming language.
