That's not the truth. It's one of infinitely many truths. They hated him because Jesus didn't understand how implicit type casting between int and bool worked.
Technically, if you ignore the inherent contradiction in the name, some languages treat NaN as a falsy number and the IEEE standards admit trillions of possible NaNs.
I'll take it over 0, because it will force people to think with what arrays are populated. And if 1 index or 0index is appropriate instead of defaulting all arrays and loops at 0.

I told them to leave a pamphlet and fuck off, but the pamphlet was a fixed-point combinator that put them back on my porch again.

And then there are things like strcmp() that uses 0 as true. At least it is for a good reason, but still confusing.

I don't find it confusing at all. The function doesn't test equivalence, and the return value is not meant to be a logical value.

Indexes start at 3. 😈

His index started like -6 or -4 (assuming he even existed).
