But you're calling a function specifically made for passing a string to an int... ๐Ÿ˜† There's gotta be some common sense somewhere here, guys.

Still, it's a very good point. JS should do this.

I would suspect one reason it doesn't do this is to be backwards compatible.

And god fucking forbid that common sense be in the language. Who the fuck needs a language with common sense, amirite?
