Oh I absolutely ran into this because I had a bug, I had forgot to parse the number into the correct format, but it still feels odd that the language behaves this way. Here is an example of what Ruby outputs: "4" + 4 : `+': no implicit conversion of Integer into String (TypeError) "44" - 4 : undefined method `-' for "40":String (NoMethodError) The funny thing being the implicit type conversion that javascript does. This is likely why typescript has become so popular. Are there other languages that have implicit type conversion for basic types like javascript?
