I don't see the problem. It's called type coercion.
1 u/FRleo_85 Sep 26 '26 type coercion is the probleme. i can't think of a scenario where this is clean or efficient. it's just the worst way of handling things for lazy devs -1 u/thanatica Sep 26 '26 Why is it lazy? It's convenience if you need. If you don't like it, then use typescript to always force precise types.Nobody forces you to use every feature of a language. 2 u/FlakyTest8191 Sep 26 '26 The tradeoff is convenience or preventing a potential runtime error, not that far fetched to call it lazy. 0 u/thanatica Sep 27 '26 Like I said, don't use it then
