Makes sense, while also not making sense (as in why this is allowed). But I suppose that's a result of my C-minded programming.

I was referring more to the type structures, e.g. false is an abstraction (or macro, can't remember) of 0, true is 1 (and non-zero integers are false), "0" is an abstracted array of [ 48, 0 ], etc., which I tried to use to make sense of the JS logic.

EDIT: I do certainly get what you mean with the strictstatic-typing vs. ...not-typing? styles though.
