That’s it. That’s the meme.

        I genuinely wasn’t aware of that. I must be getting javascript confused for almost any other language. I wonder how many times ive !!'d a value to make that work without actually absorbing that into my head now…

          In other languages that shouldn’t be equal either though, right?

          Maybe you meant

          if (2){
console.log("nonzero ints are truthy")
}
else {
console.log("no they're not")
}

          Which would output

          nonzero ints are truthy

          and that would actually work in all languages I know. But that’s different from being equal.

          2 is not == true, but !!2 is true
