I found some code using

!0
!1

I guess this is just the same things than

true
false

is there a reason for doing that or is just some abbreviation?

• 3 @Pointy This code is produced by JavaScript Closure Compiler, as an example. Is it a time to fire it? ;) – VisioN Commented Mar 25, 2013 at 14:42

If you really care about bandwidth and loading time then you need code pression. !0 and !1 is a pressed version of true and false.
