Javascript, C and Java suck, yes. Show me something as bad as the OP in python3 and then maybe you'll have a point.

Even if Python 3's type conversion semantics has no dark corners, I still have a point.
harshreality argued that, because PHP's implicit type conversion leads to weird behaviour, "PHP doesn't work. End of story."
In that case, nearly every widely used language (with the possible exception of Python 3) "doesn't work. End of story." That's not a very interesting or useful story to tell.
Javascript, C and Java all "don't work", at least to the extent that I would never take a job writing them.
