A comment on Nil in Go is typed in theory and sort of untyped in practice. Parent comment

That's not an example of nontransitivity. You’ve only shown that some nontruthy values are unequal by == and some are equal by ==. Nontransitivity would be a == b, b == c, c != a. But you have the much more expected b != a, b != c, c == a.

JS loose equality is intransitive, though; the standard example being:

  '0' == 0; // true
  0 == ''; // true
  '0' == ''; // false
