Elixir provides the concept of truthiness: nil and false are considered “falsy” and all other values are “truthy”. Many constructs in the language, such as &&/2, ||/2, and !/1 handle truthy and falsy values. Using those operators is not an anti-pattern. However, using those operators when all operands are expected to be booleans, may be an anti-pattern and could lead to undefined behavior.
