NaN is specifically not a number.
> typeof NaN "number"Conclusion: Javascript is Neutral Evil
Always has been
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
I feel like it belongs more in the chaotic row
Pythagoras: Everything that exists is a number. Except irrational numbers. Fuck those things.

Here you go
numbers aren’t real dipshits, they’re just letters that want to be special
If you change “number” to “vector” you’d have mathematicians agreeing with half of those.
But a vector is a number, no?

Not really.
A vector is a thing that can be added together and scaled in “the intuitive way.” That is, for example, if a and b are numbers and v is a vector, then av + bv = (a+b)v (vector addition distributes over scalar multiplication). The prototypical example is the collection of arrows rooted at the origin on the 2D plane, where addition has a simple geometric interpretation (you put the tail of one vector at the tip of another, the resulting point is the new tip) and scaling is “stretching.” But it really could be anything that adds and scales.
