Alternatively, why wait twice as long for your python code to execute as you have to?

It coerces any value into a bool, which can be a very helpful side effect.

I use Blender for that, too. Anything I don’t do in Blender I probably do in emacs…

I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.

Truthiness is so fundamental, in most languages, all values have a truthiness, whether they are bool or not. Even in C, int x = value(); if (!x) x_is_not_zero(); is valid and idiomatic.

I appreciate the point that calling a method gives more context cues and potentially aids readability, but in this case I feel like not is the python idiom people expect and reads just fine.

The main thing not is for is coercing a truthy value into an actual bool.

Strongly disagree that not x implies to programmers that x is a bool.

As opposed to what reason for owning a factory??

pro gamers disagree.
