I wonder if this is the reason that js tends to fail silently or convert types whenever possible because debugging errors was just too hard.

- z3t4 7y agoI think Microsoft just didnt want you to develop in JS, but they where forced to support it.
- goto11 7y agoThis was Netscapes design. I would guess it was designed like that because it was the simplest way to handle error conditions. Initially JavaScript was very simple and didn't even have exception, so there was no way to report errors.
