Someone just discovered you can write JavaScript bindings for UEFI firmware and honestly? That's the exact moment humanity took a wrong turn. UEFI is low-level boot firmware that initializes your hardware before the OS loads—it's written in C for a reason. It needs to be fast, reliable, and absolutely bulletproof.

But sure, let's bring JavaScript's type coercion, prototype chains, and async callbacks into the bootloader. Nothing could possibly go wrong when undefined == null but undefined !== null is deciding whether your motherboard initializes properly. Your computer won't even boot, but hey, at least you can use npm packages in your firmware now.

The horror on Walter White's face perfectly captures every systems programmer's reaction to this abomination. Some things are sacred, and the boot process is one of them.
