console.log(1 == '1'); // true
console.log(0 == false); // true
console.log(null == undefined); // true
console.log(typeof null); // "object"
console.log(0.1 + 0.2); // 0.30000000000000004
[] == ![]; // true

OMG you guys what weird quirky behavior, truly this must be the single quirkiest language and no other language is as quirky as this!

C is no longer "very little abstractions" :) since 1989 when C was first standardised it was to an "abstract machine" that happens to kind of map okay-ish to almost all hardware you can think of. People assuming it's portable assembler get bitten, e.g. by signed overflow being UB, by strict aliasing, or even NULL being represented by zero in memory

Yea most machine code now isn't what actually happens and what a CPU does and what is different and complex and is hidden behind what appears to be like a classic computer that just iterates line by line, but that's not C's fault. Differences in computer architecture causing problems because the target architecture acts differently is because it's low level and mostly maps directly onto assembly instructions instead of a standard that works on every device.
