Fekking Python and is lack of implicit conversions

I like it, you have to be careful

print ("log: " + state.room)

I guess it comes with extreme opereator overloading

'54' % '4' != 54 % 4
even though neither is error
Actually wait, it is

Lol

oh well goes of to find better example
Fekking Markdown and its taking my asterisks litterally

Javascript says "hold my beer," +!+[] and '0' == 0

or unlitterally I gues

For Python, 0 != ""; "" != [ ]; [ ] != 0 but 0 == False; "" == False; [ ] == False
Oh wait no
None of them equal False
They just evaluate as falsy
bool(x) == False
@Draco18s Just prooves your point about conversions
Actually 0.0 == 0 though type(0.0) != type(0)

That's more of a "javascript does terrible things", but yeah
But implicitly converting to a string is fine IMO

(For concatenation, equality, no)

@Draco18s At last, I thought of an example! Not an obscure one either: '5' * 3 == '555'; 5 * 3 == 15

I don't really see why that's bad
Automatic coercion to and from strings can lead to ambiguous behavior
Like does '5' * 3 equal 15 or '53'?
Both are reasonable outcomes with coercion
Python is strongly typed by design.
