Because you're exciting? (and Boolean seemed extraneous)

Esoteric Javascript Snarky!  Probably much more comprehensive to some of you than Martin Short humor.  Although possibly just barely.

Per Padolsey, "Truthy: Something which evaluates to TRUE. Falsey: Something which evaluates to FALSE."  But like many things in programming, it requires a bit of exploration to understand that falsey/falsy is true (or accurately false) in five cases: undefined, null, NaN, 0, "" (empty string), and false.  These two articles can give you a good overview:

Snrky: When you reply to my emails, why is my quoted text always preceded by a !! ?

Don't worry. The feeling will pass.

You might need to view this one in a larger format to read it.  It got a little wide.

C# isn't outdated!  VB isn't outdated!  Yes, yes.  Feel free to argue the language of your choice.  They all get outdated at some point, and if the language itself doesn't get outdated, there's the possibility that your skill set within the language gets outdated as it morphs into something you don't use on your projects.  After all, there's more than one version of C# and Java out there.  And even PL/1 isn't completely gone.  We still have the odd blue book floating around the office.  I've been turning some of them into hidden compartment books, but some people are very proud to have the original tome on their shelf.  It's not a condemnation, it's just proof that our job is sometimes less about the particular language, and more about the choice to be a lifelong learner who is willing to reinvent her/himself every so often.
