    It’s not that hard to understand what it is doing and why the decision was made to make it do that. JavaScript has a particular purpose and it’s mission is not consistency.

    It’s not like TypeScript doesn’t exist if you just get lightheaded at the idea of learning JavaScript’s quirks and mastering using it despite them.
