^ because: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseInt https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... > The parseInt() function parses a string argument and returns an integer of the specified radix (the base in mathematical numeral systems). Surprisingly, if you put garbage in, you get garbage out.

The garbage obviously being the language's std library.

  nah. just type coercion. Why would you parse a float? Parsing is for strings. Converting a float to an int is done with stuff like `Math.floor`.

      Which would be changing the paradigm away from implicit coercion, yes. That would make it a different, entirely hypothetical, ill-defined language. A very clear strawman that isn't particularly worth fighting. It would quite possibly be a better language, but it's not a thing you "just do" to solve footguns - it has pretty big effects on the language and ecosystem.
