in 2030, JavaScript gains a ==== operator that is stricter than ===, needed due to an ambiguity introduced into the core language unilaterally by Google (despite Mozilla's objections) to unblock the launch of a short-lived webapp. The operator has no canonical pronunciation, devs disagree whether it's "quadruple-equal," "double-double-equal," or "actually actually equal."

in 2033, the PHP community, inspired by the discussions around having the choice between three different types of equivalence being good, actually and important to modern best practices, adds a !!= operator that is more lenient than ==, returning true when e.g. two numbers can be rounded to the nearest ten to become equal, or two strings consist of words with the same Latin root. The operator is pronounced "not NOT equal" in a defensive, pedantic tone of voice
