its a language, you learn it. it doesn't adapt to you.

I am slowly learning Thai. I am fucking terrible at it. I mean absolutely woeful. It's hardly the fault of Thailand or its people that their language has different sentence structure and different words than what I'm accustomed to, is it?

Type juggling exists, there is an operator that does a strict comparison.

Build a bridge and get over it, and yourself.

The people of Thailand didn't invent Thai, and it's unlikely that a handful of them could invent a new language and have it catch on within a few years. The analogy doesn't quite hold. Switching sentence structure is more akin to switching paradigms, anyway.

There are no strict comparison operators for less-than/greater-than. === acts fundamentally differently for objects than for everything else. Alas.
