#-1

[kpreid]

Weird thing: Once upon a time I did a lot of work with MOO-code. Ever since then, if I’m writing something and my typing gets ahead of my thinking, I often type “#-1”. It’s not meaningful in the context, it’s not a joke to myself — I have no idea what’s going on there.

(In MOO #-1 is the canonical value which is an-object-reference-but-not-a-valid-object, like null in Java.)
