NaN is specifically not a number.

"number"

Conclusion: Javascript is Neutral Evil

Always has been

[–] FlickOfTheBean@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Now that's a characterization I can get behind!

That is a valid point. Also, I learned something about JavaScript. Thank you!

Well, it's something like the difference between { x: null } and { }.

That's why it's in the Evil row

[–] Narrrz@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

I feel like it belongs more in the chaotic row

Well, at least it is used in place of a number. But what about QED.?

[–] TAVAR@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

NaN makes for a better Chaotic Evil, QED could just as well be Neutral Evil.

However QED always stands in the bottom right corner, I guess that makes the author of this chart lawfully evil

Unless it is Quantum Electro Dynamics.
