I've been playing around with JavaScript and I ended up seeing code like this:
console.log([123, 1] >= 213)
// --> false
Why can this even be executed? What does it do? Will it always be false?

Why does this execute? Also I was just playing around with javascript. – JJ Cauton Feb 15 '22 at 19:52

1Bringing up Python is a distraction. I edited the question to focus on JavaScript, the oddball language. – John Kugelman Feb 15 '22 at 19:54

2@JJCauton Because the [spec](//tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-islessthan) says so. And yes, the Python spec says something different. That’s mainly because ECMAScript and Python have _absolutely nothing to do_ with each other. – Sebastian Simon Feb 15 '22 at 19:55
