Equal rights for Numbers: 0 is a Number, too!
Sure, Numbers are Comparable. Sure, 0 might be less than some
other Numbers,
but it’s greater than some Numbers, too.No Number should be considered false. No Number deserves to
be considered
false.No Number has the negativity and emptiness that nil and false
exude. All
Numbers are on if’s guest list[1].Granted, in the past it’s true that 0 had no bits set. It
took on the roles
of false and even nil even when the need was there.Give it credit for that! Respect, too, that all Numbers, yes,
even 0, have
an id now.I dream of the day programmers esteem 0 as highly as mathematicians.
Respect all Numbers equally. Join the fight for equal rights for 0.
honk if 0
This post is more convincing than all the other posts combined!! 
Really.
It probably convinced a lot of the other posters too
