I've been writing JavaScript in a professional context for years, and I have never added an integer to a string. I have never debugged code accidentally doing so, and I've never seen functions written that casually swap between such different return types. Yet here we are, over and over, reading the obligatory complaint in every JS thread about its type coercion and corner cases. Who are all these programmers who can't go a day without tripping over and subtracting booleans from objects, or multiplying arrays by strings, or dividing functions by nulls? Do they suffer this affliction in other languages too? Do they divide by error codes and subtract function pointers from charcodes?
