Why Brendan Eich Created JavaScript's Quirky Comparisons

JavaScript's type coercion strikes again! In JS, when comparing strings with >, it performs lexicographical comparison - meaning "Dog" > "Cat" evaluates to true because 'D' comes after 'C' in the alphabet. The grumpy kitten represents Brendan Eich (JavaScript's creator) facepalming at his own language quirks. He unleashed these string comparison shenanigans on the world and now even cats are judging him for it. The feline uprising begins with alphabetical order!

Stop Doing NaNs

Ah, the eternal JavaScript nightmare: NaN (Not a Number) - which ironically is a number type that doesn't equal itself. Because that makes perfect sense! The IEEE 754 floating-point standard really outdid itself here. "Let's create a special value that represents calculation errors but make it behave in the most counterintuitive ways possible!" My favorite part is JavaScript trying to be helpful: "You want to convert 'hello' to a number? Sure thing! Here's a NaN for your trouble. No errors thrown, just silent mathematical chaos." And then we wonder why our date calculations suddenly think it's the year NaN. The hex(983061) at the bottom is the cherry on top - it's 0xF00D61, or "FOOD A1". Even the hexadecimal is trolling us.
