[efdee]

It takes a special kind of human to name variable "name" but not have it be a string.

Something like

  name = {first: "Jane", last: "Doe"}

isn't obviously unreasonable. Which actually sets name to the string "[object Object]".

Falsehoods programming languages believe about names.

I work with such humans! I was looking at that exact situation a few moments ago.

I can imagine someone doing this if they were using "name" as a verb
