PHP is pretty bad, but I think JS really takes the crown for insane equality comparisons. Basically every weird equality comparison from PHP is in JS, along with some other humdingers like 0 == [].

And my favorite, '\n\r\t' == 0

There is never a good reason to use ==.

I totally agree, but they were bringing up the insane equality rules in PHP using the == operator, so I did likewise in Javascript. Both languages luckily have fantastically logical === operators.
