Brendan Eich was on a podcast in 2016 talking about the origins and evolution of JS. At one point he and the ECMA team wanted to make == strict equality, but then that would have required specifying the JS version, and Microsoft didn't like that, so they decided to go with === and leave == non-strict. It's one of several cases where backward compatibility on the web trumped cleaning up the language. |
