NaN is specifically not a 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!

That's why it's in the Evil row

I feel like it belongs more in the chaotic row

Well, at least it is used in place of a number. But what about QED.?

NaN makes for a better Chaotic Evil, QED could just as well be Neutral Evil.

However QED always stands in the bottom right corner, I guess that makes the author of this chart lawfully evil
