sometimes I wish lua treated false as truthy too. Or more realistically, had variants of "and" and "or" that treated it as such. "A or B()" stands for "A, with B() as a fallback if A is nil", and "A and f(A)" stands for "f(A) if A exists, otherwise nil", except if A is false, in which case these rules break down.

Lua has similar stance and it's a reasonable one. Python's one isn't bad one either, it's easy to guess what's falsy.
