Responding to GP; I think it's a tiny bit clearer with `== true`, but I don't feel particularly strongly about it. I wrote this code without caring too much about style and cleanliness. However, I don't agree that the shortest code is always the cleanest. In JS for example, I've found that wrapping every conditional body in braces even if it's a single statement helps avoid bugs and clear out ambiguity. Also, this code: if (foo()) { return true; } else { return false; } is not equivalent to return foo(); because foo() could return something that isn't boolean. The correct short version would be: return !!foo(); It's far less obvious what is going on here. That said, I'd probably go with: return foo() ? true : false;
