Meaningful boolean context? I understand that the original author is a Perl programmer which probably means he has wildly different views of the world, but seriously?

"Meaningful boolean context"s have given us things like the abundant "if (!!foo)" in JavaScript. And then he goes on to criticize absence of auto-conversions, which are the other plague of dynamic programming languages (see "===" & friends).

I don't see how anyone could actually want that kind of litter in his programming language.
