Thanks for that, I had no idea. Do you know if zero is truthy in erlang? It makes sense for elixir (based on ruby) but I'm wondering if erlang is that way too.

I don't know off the top of my head, but I would assume that yes, zero is truthy in Erlang as well, since Elixir is fully compatible with it.
