Quite inappropriate response full of holes in itself like many StackOverflow resposes. He listed reasons why he hates it. Yes it's dynamically typed and he doesn't like it so what's your comment about? He's listing reasons regardless of why JS has it. "Stupid comparison" is quite there as in he dislikes how it works and so do many. There's no need for checking types it's an observation of how something works and nite about disliking it.
Anyways reported as it's not useful to community. Maybe next time try to understand the point instead of defending the language or just simply hating the author. This is not SO, you don't get points for being too loose on your comments
Obviously, if this was StackOverflow, the top comment would explain how all these problems aren't a thing in JavaScript and have some code snippets filled with $ without ever even mentioning jQuery at all.
This answer would be the accepted one and have a comment by the user asking the question thanking the poster for the great answer, again, without ever acknowledging that nobody ever even mentioned jQuery.
The next 20 answers would be walls of code using APIs from before we invented the wheel and at the very bottom there'd be an answer from last year explaining how to do the thing in 3 lines of modern JS. Of course, this answer has 0 upvotes and a comment from three months ago pointing out that this code wouldn't work in IE5.
I bet you did not report the post for the same reason. That was a hate comment on hate post, the author has no idea how js works, the post is not about "i like this I don't like that", you can see it in the last paragraph where he does not understand why sort doesn't want to sort numbers, despite it IS written in the documentation.
And I'm not the defender of JS, I know it has lots of confusing points, but all of them are explainable including those described in the original post. The author also added nothing to the global knowledge base. Well, maybe if he was one of the creators of a language, or creator of any other language his post would have some weight in community, but he is not. The post is crap, the memes are crap too. You can report as long as you want.
Upd: yes, my response is full of holes(just like the post, lol), I just think it is not worth it to explain fundamentals of js in the comments section or even write a separate answer post.
The post is low quality and marked as such. When we do that they are less visible. But, there is one thing, things being explainable have no relation to personal preference. As you said no real value is in there but you can simply ignore stuff insted of being toxic or you could leave a propper comment how post is not well written and details are missing to explain why is something like that and why does the autor hate it. As I said this is not stack overflow to downvote, and scream at people. I've seen numerous of posts like these yet ignored them because what's the point? Some I commented on to point out mistakes if I felt it could be imporved, if not just skip or mark as low quality

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
