Someone enthusiastically introduces their favorite language, and JavaScript immediately demonstrates why it's both loved and mocked in equal measure. The plus operator does string concatenation ("11" + 1 = "111"), while the minus operator coerces to numbers ("11" - 1 = 10). Totally logical and not confusing at all.

JavaScript's type coercion is like that friend who tries to be helpful but just makes everything worse. The language sees a plus sign and thinks "maybe they want strings?" but sees a minus sign and goes "definitely numbers here." It's the programming equivalent of a chaotic neutral alignment.
