Claudia Hernández: Down the Rabbit Hole: Javascript in Wonderland | JSConf EU 2017

2017.jsconf.eu/speakers/claudi...
What even makes sense in Javascript ?
For a language originally created in 10 days it surely has a lot of quirks and perks many JS developers are unaware of. Sometimes, it might even seem like we fell down the rabbit hole only to find that NaN is actually a Number, undefined can be defined, +!![] equals 1, Array.sort() may not work as you suspected and so much other nonsense that can trip any JS developer’s mind.
This talk is a collection of Javascript’s oddities and unexpected behaviors that hopefully will prevent some future headaches and help understand the language that we all love in a more deeper and meaningful way.

Very interesting talk, especially the non-alphanumeric part! It's amazing how JavaScript's syntax, dynamic typing, lack of checked exceptions and the fact that it's interpretted make it very productive and "it just works", yet has so many unintuitive quirks.
