Programmer Humor

As someone trying to learn Javascript, it just makes me mad that at this garbage heap of a language is so widely used.

Where's the >== operator? Because they also have the exact same problem.

The recommended ESLint rules catch most of the bad stuff, and these days this is all you need in your ESLint config to enable them:

import {defineConfig} from 'eslint/config';
import js from '@eslint/js' 

export default defineConfig([
  js.configs.recommended,
]; 

There's one use case where == is still commonly used: == null matches both null and undefined. Lint rules that block == usually allows the null case as an exception.

IIRC modern linter rulesets generally just outright error if you do anything remotely like this.
