This is how a language can be a mess:

    [] + [] = ''
    [] + {} = '[object Object]'
    {} + [] = 0
    {} + {} = NaN
    Array(16).join('wat' - 1) + ' Batman' = 'NaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaN Batman'

You can find examples like these for basically every single language.

This is misleading, as the original talk executed them in the statement context where the preceding `{}` is an independent statement. `({} + [])` etc. are much more consistent.
