     @astrid@fedi.astrid.tech == checks for equal(ish) and === checks for reference. and this is the output of a test case in karma (a js unit testing framework) where i used .toBe instead of .toEqual

     @puniko oh, that makes sense (I think)
     If you're checking with == then it's probably checking the references, like 2 different instances of lists aren't equal to each other. To check that their contents are equal, well, that's a bit more involved

     @puniko @astrid@fedi.astrid.tech JavaScript has a pretty loose interpretation of "equality", to the point that most linters generate warnings whenever you use "==" instead of "==="

     @niconiconi @astrid@fedi.astrid.tech :char_nachoneko_baa: thats why i wrote "equal(ish)"[] == "" // true 0 == "0" // true [] == "0" // false

     [] == 0 evaluates to true btw :char_nachoneko_baa:
