That issue is pretty hilarious, and reveals a lot about Urbit. This topic on HN is my first exposure to the project, and I was on the fence about the (seemingly much debated) 'is this satire?' question. This ticket pushed me over to the 'yes' side.
Of course there is the 'loobean' schtick, but the best part is them sneaking in three-valued logic as a trojan horse, where the third state is "NO". They evens steer the reader towards the obvious footgun:
> You should ignore the numeric values and use comparisons against c3y and c3n for everything.
So I should say
if (bluebeanValue == TRUE) { ... }
and
if (bluebeanValue == FALSE) { ... }
Making any value outside the expected range mean "NO to any boolean test".
