I remember being frustrated by the fact C# 1.0 had a default container called ArrayList. Is it an Array, or a List? These are very different things. Is it a fancy container that somehow has worked out how to get the benefits of both? The documentation never said.

I'm sure your first one should be:
"1" == 1 is true
=== specifically takes type into account. Javascript's type co-ercion can be a win or a lose, depending on what you want. If type matters, use === and !==

That kind of things already existed when our ancestors began to cast logic into silicon[^].
Of course, there also were well designed CPUs[^] that had exactly 256 opcodes, with only 0x68 being reserved as prefix for future expansions of the instruction set. And of course there are the opcodes 0xE0 - 0xEF, the 'Set X Register' instruction for registers 0x0 - 0xF, short SEX. Absolutely no confusion here.

Len("hello") = Len("hello ")
That is a fun one that I came across a while ago. for some reason SQL Server ignores the trailing spaces hence they match.

erm, typo?
"1" === 1 is false
"1" == 1 is true (truthy rather)

I don’t even know anymore. I’m so confused.

Wait 5 years. It will be:
"1" ============== 1
As in, "I really really really really really really really really really want to know if it's really really really really really really really really somewhat mildly truthy."

In Fortran (at least in the old days, Fortran IV and thereabouts) has no reserved words. Spaces have no significance. So you could declare a variable named INTEGER
REAL INTEGER
INTEGER = 3.14
or a subroutine named FUNCTION to be invoked by
CALL FUNCTION(...)
The standard loop construct is the DO loop, but
DO U BLEP RECISION IF
is not the start of a loop. Rather, you could make a comparison with the above variable
IF (IF.GT.INTEGER) ...
In my student days, there was a single course teaching Fortran. We made it a habit to solve the execizes using predefined identifiers only. Sort of like OCCC, but it took far less effort to obfuscate Fortran.

"1" === 1 is true
What? is is not a keyword in js, and "1" === 1 evaluates as false.
What's going on here?

In the old fortran stuff:
3 = 9
And change the value of 3 to 9 (Because some nimrod decided to declare numeric constants as variables?) LMAO.
But they fix everything by adding an =, so we get =, ==, ===...
I am waiting to read some code:
if (x ======= y)
and
if (x ======== y)

"1" === 1 is true
Umm, this statement is false. Put "1" === 1 into the dev tools console and it will output false.

I just loved seeing C/C++ code from colleagues too lazy to comment out a block of code (and letting it sit there for years) via:
#if 0
...
#endif
I should just go back to clean it out, but now it's nostalgic for me.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
