Guards now support the evaluation of truthy and falsy values, and can be assigned as decorators.
Note about truthy and falsy values
In Python, a boolean value is either
True
orFalse
. However, there are also specific values thatare considered "falsy" and will evaluate as
False
when used in a boolean context.These include:
None
.0
or0.0
.__bool__()
or__len__()
method that returnsFalse
or0
, respectively.On the other hand, any value that is not considered "falsy" is considered "truthy" and will evaluate as
True
when used in a boolean context.So, a condition
s1.to(s2, cond=lambda: [])
will evaluate toFalse
, as an empty list is afalsy value.
