I love JavaScript - and to be fair I ignored these regular posts of people throwing garbage data at it and calling it names due to some questionable results.

Todays debug session lead me to the following assertion.

'1' === new String(1)

To my surprise, this evaluates to false. 

While the lesson learnt here should be String objects and String literals are not the same, I must admit I was reminded of these posts ridiculing JS. Justified so, because - to me - this doesn't seem to be garbage input.
