It’s the _existence_ of an implicit conversion from string to boolean that the parent is pointing out as a problem, not how it’s implemented. But that’s Jãvascript bb
Maybe I’m missing the example but can you not check the truthiness of strings in basically any high level language? At least python does it the same way and it’s very useful.
neither Java nor .Net have implicit string to boolean conversions, the only way to asses the truthiness of a string is an explicit conversion - there’s no “if(someStringVariable)” - that’s just a type error at compile time.
