by the way, best use case of this I've ever seen? It was pasted on a sticker on a car's bumper, right below the license plate, in a nice easy to read/OCR font. Now, I've no idea if the speed/traffic/tracking cameras read it and acted on it or not, but the idea amused me.
As for JavaScript, I recall how I registered an account with user name "undefined" for TheDailyWTF article comments. Later they moved their comment system and forums to Discourse and due to some bug my account was linked under every item in the list of likes under every post.
And []+[] = "" And []+{} = [object Object] And {}+[] = 0 And {}+{} = NaN
new String(null)=="null"
And it used to be a lot easier to make that mistake like something with:
""+a
Which different browsers handled differently.
Edit: To all the Nulls, thanks for the downvotes.
