  They must be a user of a language that needs === meaning "real equal not imaginary equal" Also I wish you could still buy cars that were not computers.

    > They must be a user of a language that needs === meaning "real equal not imaginary equal" This is something that, weirdly enough, perl did really well and then everyone else ignored the good solution in favor of much worse alternatives. In perl, 0 and "0" will compare equal, which can lead to trouble. But perl prevented virtually all of that trouble by making the operators on strings different than the operators on numbers. So "1" + 2 is 3, whereas "1" . 2 is 12.

      . vs + for string concat is still one that causes many basic syntax errors for me as I switch back and forth between PHP and JS. I know immediately what I've done as soon as the corresponding syntax error is thrown, but still not immediate enough for when I'm actually typing it.
